Track List

Record Label: Maverick




Manufactured By Orlake Records




The picture disc was withdrawn after being pressed by Maverick, as the artwork, Madonna sucking a toe, was too close for comfort to a news story of a royal (Sarah Ferguson) pictured sucking a toe in a hotel bedroom. All copies were taken from Orlake, where it was pressed, back to the head office to be destroyed. But it is rumoured that around 138 exist. Due to its extreme rarity, this item has been widely bootlegged and so you have to check that the record is genuine.




According to www.madonnaunderground.nl,the main differences in the genuine "Erotica" picture disc, and the knock-off reproduction: 




1) the real "Erotica" picture disc carries a gold backing card, with the official "Madonna/Erotica" logo in the top-left corner. The bootleg disc is missing this backing card. 




2) the real "Erotica" picture disc has a white rectangular box containing its catalog # directly below the Maverick Logo on the vinyl itself. The bootleg disc is missing this box. 




3) the real "Erotica" picture disc has the words "Orlake W0138TP" sketched on the run-out groove of the vinyl itself, on the inner loop. The bootleg disc is missing this writing.




4) The original vinyl has about 2 millimeters wide black circle on the edge of vinyl side A. The fake has about 5 millimeters wide black circle on the edge of vinyl side A.




5) On the run out grooves on side B, only lower part of the letters "...OTI..." (of full"EROTICA"); recording area is wide and takes about 2/3 of the record.On the Fake copies the Groove starts around the middle of the record and includes lower part of the letters "EROTI..." (of full"EROTICA").
