Notes

This version is the Allied pressing plant variation and can be differentiated by the label typesetting and by the runout groove etchings. This entry is for the pressing without RL etchings in the runouts; see Like A Virgin for the otherwise identical Allied pressing with additional RL markings.

This album is dedicated to the virgins of the world.

This release of the album doesn't contain "Into The Groove," which is featured as track B1 on other international releases.

Issued with back sleeve printed upside down and custom inner sleeve with lyrics.

Produced for Nile Rodgers Productions Inc.
Originally mastered at Masterdisk, New York.
Fanatically recorded digitally from start to finish on Sony equipment.

Made in U.S.A.

Number on labels: 1-25157
Number on spine of jacket and inner sleeve: 9 25157-1

Matrix notes:
The ɑ stands for the stamp of Allied Record Company.
"SLM △" in the runout etching indicates that the lacquer disc was processed at, and the metal parts used to manufacture the record were made at Sheffield Lab Matrix.
MASTERDISK is stamped.

Some copies have a sticker on front cover (applied on the shrinkwrap)
Matte cover

*Some copies may be *Translucent type vinyl* (Not transparent)*

    △ 7082 mm 1-3 MR A 26672 O B-19527-Re1-SH6 1-25157-A-RE-1- SH-6 RL SLM (my release)

    And on side B:
    1-25157-B-SH3 O B-19527-SH3 SLM △ 7082-X mm 1-8 MR A 26672X (actual release)

        I notice that the images for this release portray a barcode... is there some chance that this may be a re-press from 1989-90?
