"OK, after years of living with my extensive collection of Madonna 12-inch singles, I finally took the financial plunge to upgrade each 12-inch to the CD single re-releases. So far I've been very happy with all the CD-singles until I came to "Who's That Girl". Rest assured, THIS release DOES NOT sound like it does on the original vinyl. It is horribly muffled - I can't believe the final master wasn't checked before mass production, as it is most certainly an error. Madonna would be embarrassed if she knew how horrible this sounded, and Warner should be ashamed. I see Amazon has this listed as a UK release - I bought the German release, but it appears BOTH versions are defective and pretty much worthless. Unless you like listening to your music with a couple of pillows strapped to either side of you head! Go dig through some record bins for the 12-inch - you'll be much happier."

"I got this cd in Italy. It's part of the reissues of Madonna's early singles from the 80s. I can't understand why it was recorded with such a very bad sound quality. The remix itself gets better in the 2nd half, but there's no saving the sound quality. The B-Side 'White Heat' instead has a regular sound quality. I'm getting the original 12'' vynil and hope it was only a bad mastering of the cd. Since it's hard to find I advise you to get the CD anyway: the remix is nice to listen to."
