Classic Albums Live: Madonna’s The Immaculate Collection
Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage – note for note, cut for cut, using the best musicians. Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music.
The Immaculate Collection is the first greatest hits album by American singer Madonna, released on Nov 12, 1990. It contains 15 of her hit singles recorded throughout the 1980’s, as well as two brand new tracks, “Justify My Love” and “Rescue Me”. All the previously released material were reworked through the QSound audio technology, becoming the first ever album to use it. Meanwhile, the new material saw Madonna working with Lenny Kravitz and Shep Pettibone.
The Immaculate Collection received universal acclaim from critics, who deemed it a defining retrospective of 1980’s music. The album reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, while topping the charts in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Finland, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It was certified 11× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (R.I.A.A.), making it Madonna’s 2nd diamond-certified album in the U.S. The Immaculate Collection has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling compilation album by a solo artist ever and one of the best-selling albums of all time. It has been featured on all-time critic lists by several publications, including Blender which named it the greatest American album of all time.
