An unpublished chapter for the “Bedtime stories” by Madonna: this studio album, originally released on October 25, 1994, turns thirty and is celebrated on Friday November 28with the release of a Special EP which includes prime demos and rarities. The album will be released next, coinciding with the release of the re-release of the original album in a limited edition silver vinyl version. Three songs are already available, “Human Nature (Howie Tee New Clean Edit)”, “Right On Time (Original Demo)”, and “Love Won’t Wait (Original Demo Edit)”. The album can be pre-ordered and pre-saved at this link

At the time of its release, “Bedtime stories” had sold over seven million copies worldwide and included hits such as “Take a bow”, “Secret” and “Human nature”. On that occasion, Madonna collaborated on the production with Björk, Babyface and other prominent artists. To retrace that “evolution of the R&B sound that characterized ‘Bedtime stories’“, as suggested in a press release, arrives now the eight-track EP named “Bedtime stories – The untold chapter” with early demos, alternate versions and rarities. The EP will be available on limited edition black vinyl and in digital format. Additionally, a two-CD deluxe version will be released, which will include the original album, the new EP and a 20-page booklet with lyrics and illustrations.
The EP cover features previously unpublished images taken from a 1994 photo shoot by Paolo Roversi, whose photos were also used for the single “Bedtime story”.

Madonna collaborated with Stuart Price, producer of “Confessions on a Dance Floor”, who edited and mixed the various versions into a coherent new chapter. The artwork features previously unpublished images taken from a 1994 shooting by Paolo Roversi, whose photos were also used for the single “Bedtime Story”. Also on November 28, the original Bedtime Stories album will be reissued on silver vinyl. It will be available at select retailers, with an exclusive poster included with orders placed on Madonna.com and Rhino.com.
