Bedtime stories velvet
Hey Tribers, welcome back to our brand new corner devoted to collecting here on MadonnaTribe.com.
Today I’ve taken off my shelf another cd rarity to cover on our collecting space on MadonnaTribe.
In early 1995, after a few months the Bedtime Stories album was already released in stores,
Warner Music US started distributing to media, radio and lucky friends (who promptly dumped them to online cd stores) a free promo limited edition
version of the album presented in an elegant pale blue velvet digipak with the album logo embossed on it.
When you open this amazing digipak case, you find the 11 track standard US album and its lyric booklet
housed in a pocket on the left side.
Legend says this was actually going to be produced as commercial limited edition, the fact the cd inside
bears no promo writings may confirm that. For some reason the release in stores wasn’t green lighted and
the very
limited stock already produced as test was eventually distributed around as a promotional freebie.
Nonetheless that “test” proved to be a success as the very first official limited edition version of a Madonna
studio album in the same vein came soon after this one with the lenticular digipak edition of Ray Of Light in 1998.
This Bedtime Stories cd is quite rare now and is usually sold between 100$/200$ each time it appears on Ebay according to its condition. I have two copies and I’m gonna keep them with me as long as there’s bread on my table!
See you next time!
xx
Mario
