Madonna – True Blue LP

All versions included an inner sleeve with lyrics to the songs. The label used was not the standard yellow-orange Sire one but a custom-made for this album.

Some copies issued in France came with an obi featuring a list, in French, of all the countries where the album charted at number 1.

Later pressings (1987) were released with a free giant souvenir poster from the «Who’s That Girl World Tour». The presence of this poster is advertised with a round purple sticker. The edition including the poster is listed separately: True Blue.

Lacquer cut at Future Disc which can be identified inside the runout groove.
Record Service Alsdorf used US sons (stampers) – manufactured by Allied Record Company (ARC) – to press them in Germany. ‘Metalwork’ / ‘plating’ (fathers and mothers) were made at Sheffield Lab Matrix as subcontractor for the ARC – identified by ‘delta’ numbers («△ #####» and «△ #####-X») along with a «-SH#» and the [Allied ‘ɑ’ logo]-stamp along with the manufacturer matrix numbers B-#####.
