This collection of latter day hits takes Our Lady past the lace and crucifixes stage and right through to PVC, kimono and stetson territory.

Starting with 1992’s Erotica album, when Madonna was ‘shocking’ the media by flaunting her S & M flirtations, the single itself is not as interesting as the video that accompanied it and has by now entered the realms of kitsch, but happily the much classier ‘Deeper And Deeper’ from the same album is also included here.

The patchy esoterica of 1994’s Bedtime Story is evidenced in the inclusion of the tranced-out title track, but there are also couple of winning singles, with the blatant yet controlled sexuality of ‘Human Nature’ and ‘Secret’ showing us Madonna at her sassiest and slinkiest.
