Here are the tracks: I'm not sure what you mean by "unique" -- but the following tracks are either only available on promo, vinyl, or are otherwise just extremely rare. Therefore, I think they should be noted in the "unique" category. > Burning Up (dance mix edit) Is this the version from "The First Album"? > Physical Attraction (edit) I have this on a very rare UK 7" single for "BORDERLINE" -- is it available elsewhere? If not, this is the first time it's on CD. > Holiday (edit) Where is this found otherwise? What is the time on it? > Borderline (remix) Remix? > Angel (fade / dance remix fade) I've never heard of a fade of the album version, and the dance mix edit is only available on the 7" single -- so again, first time on CD. > Papa Don't Preach (fade) I have it on promo vinyl...where else can one find it besides here??? > True Blue (fade) Never heard of a fade of this either. > La Isla Bonita (7" instr remix) Only on the 7" single... > Spotlight (edit) / Where's The Party (remix edit) Only on the promo CD "You Can Dance - Single Edits". > Like A Prayer (fade) As you mentioned Andrew, a very rare track. > Oh Father (edit) Where else is this on CD besides the very rare UK promo? > Rescue Me (alt single mix) Only other place this is available is on the US cassette single (and possibly the 7"...not sure). Only place on CD is the Japanese release. So while I'm not going to say that buying the 40-CD box for however many hundred dollars is worth it from a collector's standpoint (it's better to buy the older issues of the 3" discs seperately), I think it's unfair not to point out that it does contain a number of very rare tracks.
