1986年 Sire 從 True Blue 專輯﹐發行了 Live To Tell 作首張單曲後﹐相繼推出了第2及第3張單曲 Papa Don’t Preach 及 True Blue。但是日本方面雖然出版了 Papa Don’t Preach 的12”Single﹐然而他們卻沒有跟隨英美﹐卻是自家發了一張 Madonna Super Club Mix 的 EP。這張EP 是筆者最愛的 Madonna的 12” Single ﹐除了把她拍得很美之外﹐這封面常使自己聯想到 Hitchcock的電影 Psycho。

Madonna Super Club Mix (1986/Sire) Track List:
01 True Blue (The Color Mix) [US#3/UK#1]
02 Everybody (Dub Version)
03 Papa Don’t Preach (Extended Remix) [US#1(2) /UK#1]
04 Everybody (Extended Version)
05 Live To Tell (Instrumental)


True Blue 其實水準不俗﹐但是筆者卻因為某些特別原因﹐而對它失望﹐所以對收錄的 Color Mix印象不深﹐至於 Papa Don’t Preach 水準一般﹐然而卻直覺地喜歡﹐或者音樂是很主觀的吧﹐也或者是它跟 Like A Virgin 專輯中的歌曲相像﹐容易上口吧﹐不過歌曲的主題材卻是非常敏感﹐因為是關於未婚媽媽決定保留孩子的事情。Papa Don’t Preach於英美皆成冠軍歌﹐至於12” Version其實沒啥待別﹐只是一個很普通的 Extended Mix而已。


Papa Don’t Preach
(Brian Elliot / Additional Lyrics: Madonna)


Papa I know you're going to be upset
'Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm not a baby

You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what I'm saying

The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
We're in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe - please

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, oh
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...

He says that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I'm too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please

Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep

Oh, I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don't you stop loving me daddy
I know, I'm keeping my baby


另外 EP中也收錄了舊歌 Everybody的 Extended Version及 Dub Version ﹐另外還有大熱歌曲 Live To Tell的純音樂版。當時筆者除了喜歡 Remix外﹐也喜歡這些 Dub Version﹐因為抹去 Vocal後﹐可以較細緻地欣賞編曲部份。Live To Tell的 Instrumental便是一首筆者很喜歡的 Dub Version了。
