MADONNA - CD SINGLE COLLECTION. 40 x 3'' CD JAPANESE BOX SET. The rare Japanese-only 8½" x 8" x 4" deluxe black glossy clam shell box with red titles, contains 40 Japanese 3" CDs in 3" x 3" paper picture sleeves and a 38-page book containing track listings and lyrics of each title song in both Japanese and English. 40 mini cd single (3'') covering Madonna's career until its release on December 1996, from Burning Up to One More Chance. Also included are the Japanese-only singles "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" (released in 1985) and "Spotlight" (released in 1988).
Every single contains the artwork used in the Japanese releases, some of which are unique to that market and were not used on the international releases. Many early CDs are in unique sleeves. Each sleeve is a very simple thin paper sleeve with no spine, flat, and the back only has the track listing and writing credits.
Each sleeve cover is numbered from #1 (Burning Up/Physical Attraction) to #40 (One More Chance). Inside each sleeve, the disc is housed in an inner sleeve made of clear plastic (front) and soft fabric (back). Warner Music Japan decided to release this box set to commemorate Madonna's single success in Japan. The 3CD format was shortly to be terminated by Warner in that country and is now a very rare format. The Box itself is in Very good+/Ex- condition, with some inevitable wear on the left side opening.
The unplayed 3'' mini CDs are in Excellent+/M condition. The lyric insert is in also Ex/M condition, with no tears, rips or discoloration. Make sure to check Madonna Collectors Store. For more Madonna items & new listings.
