Madonna: Bedtime Stories versie op vinyl LP in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Maverick in samenwerking met Sire op 26. augustus 2016.

Madonna's sixth studio album was released in 1994 and features collaborations with Babyface (who also co-produced the album) and Björk. After the rather provocative previous album Erotica, it quickly became apparently too offensive and revealing for some fans. On Bedtime Stories, there is a genuine but subtle eroticism in her music and also in her voice. The songs are well arranged and influenced by black music and hip hop of the time. The result is an album that has just enough of everything. Rather quiet sounds are mixed with catchy melodies and Madonna's soft voice. Above all, we can be proud of the visual treatment of not only the album, but the entire era, including the music videos. The most successful single from the album, "Take a Bow", was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks.

Album valt binnen het genre Dance-pop, Hedendaagse R&B, Trip Hop, Sophisti-Pop en Hip Hop Soul. Standard Edition 180g Black Vinyl.

The album Bedtime Stories, released in 1994 on Madonna , was a departure from her earlier pop music albums. The album, which featured a sound influenced more by R&B and hip-hop, was commercially successful and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Singles from the album such as "Secret" and "Take a Bow" became chart hits and the album was certified triple platinum by the RIAA. Critics praised Madonna's experimentation on the album and many called it her most mature work to date. The album's lyrics deal with themes of love, sex and relationships, with Madonna singing about her own experiences and those of others. Musically, the album is a blend of genres with elements of R&B, hip-hop, soul and funk. Bedtime Stories is often considered Madonna's most underrated album, and many artists cite it as an influence. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 1994, Madonna stated that she wanted the album to be a "sensual experience", and it is clear that she has succeeded in creating an album that is sexy and soulful at the same time.
