Limited 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. Erotica is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna. It was released on October 20, 1992. The album was released simultaneously with Madonna's first book publication, Sex, a coffee table book containing explicit photographs featuring the singer. Erotica is a concept album about sex and romance; she incorporated an alter ego named Mistress Dita, inspired by actress Dita Parlo. Some songs also take on a more confessional tone, influenced by the loss of Madonna's two close friends to AIDS. Madonna recorded the album in New York City with Shep Pettibone and André Betts while she was working on other projects. Pettibone sent her a tape with three songs when she was in Chicago, and shortly after they started the album's production in his apartment. The album peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200. Internationally, it topped the charts in Australia and France, while peaking inside the top five in many other countries, such as Canada, Germany, Japan, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

So Happy! Over 30 Years to Get this!
The media could not be loaded. I heard about the infamous Madonna Erotica Picture Vinyl. It is a shame the album was never released with this amazing design. But I remember how taboo everything was back them. But I am so happy to finally have a copy even if it is the Single version. I think they could have done better and add a few mixed tracks of the song as well, but we take what’s given. The vinyl sounds good. Please if you have any issues with skipping, adjust your stylus pressure. I noticed my stylus was set for 2.56grams and after lowering it to 1.56 grams all my vinyls sound way better will less static or grinding.I got 3 copies this Black Friday, one to listen to, one to frame with the history of the vinyl to display, the other one so sake keeping probably pass it after I crock!

A must have for Madonna Collectors! Looks amazing

Elusive album.
The media could not be loaded. Probably one of the most hard to find studio albums of Madonna. Great sound and album gatefold sleeve. Shipment was really fast.

Buena edición.
Buena calidad de la grabación. Ruido de fondo leve, propio de los Picture Disc, pero normal. Buena presentación del disco en general.

Great repressing of this iconic 12 inch.
Not happy with the way my first copy was shipped to me. I ordered multiple items to be delivered on “Prime delivery day” for bonus digital rewards blah blah..it arrived, sliding around on the bottom of the box with several bags of flour and other items scratching the hell out of it lol. Quick return and exchange was smooth and a crisp new copy was in my hands in a few more days.As all picture discs go there is going to be surface noise due to materials but it’s still a gorgeous piece of vinyl to hang in a frame or just have in your collection.

Nice Collectible Despite Packaging
The vinyl is heavy and flat. Sound is fine.I don't know why picture discs are put in PVC jackets. It is nice for displaying the picture disc but I've always heard that the PVC ruins the vinyl over time. I have had the Madame X picture disc for 4 years and it is unchanged, but I still might transfer it to rice paper sleeves.Of course, the corners are bent. This is because the backing card is too thin. Plus, Amazon shipped it in a large box with minimal packing, allowing it to move around, wrinkling the corners. Add to that, the USPS is not careful handling their packages. The box arrived crushed and partially opened. I considered sending it back for a replacement but I know any new copy would arrive in the same condition because Amazon does not take care in packaging vinyl records. This is a billion dollar company. Do it right!!!
