Description
Madonna – Bedtime Story – ORIGINAL 1995 UK Limited Edition 12” – Metallic Foil Sleeve
Some Madonna records were made to be played. Others were made to be admired.
This one was clearly intended to do both.
Offered is an original 1995 UK limited-edition 12-inch maxi-single of “Bedtime Story,” housed in its distinctive metallic-effect picture sleeve featuring one of the most memorable portraits from Madonna’s Bedtime Stories era.
And nearly 32 years later, that sleeve still knows how to make an entrance.
This is the original UK W0285TX edition—not a modern reissue, reproduction, or ordinary picture-sleeve pressing.

ORIGINAL PACKAGING DETAILS
The original round “Also Available on Compact Disc Maxi-Single” promotional sticker remains attached to the front sleeve.
The original W0285TX barcode sticker is also present on the rear.
Both are retained exactly as they have been over the years.
The metallic-effect sleeve is the real attraction here. Its reflective finish gives the artwork a completely different appearance depending on the lighting and viewing angle.
It’s Madonna’s face on a sleeve that practically demands its own spotlight.
CONDITION
Original vintage pressing from my personal Madonna collection.
Vinyl: Glossy and presents very well overall, with light signs of handling and use visible under close inspection. Labels are clean.
Sleeve: The delicate metallic-effect picture sleeve is in particularly attractive condition for its age, showing only minor storage wear and light surface evidence visible under certain lighting angles.
No major seam splits or heavy ring wear are apparent in the photographs.
Please review all photographs carefully for the exact condition of the vinyl, sleeve, corners, edges, and original stickers.
Photographs show the actual item being offered and form part of the condition description.
COLLECTOR’S NOTE
By 1995, Madonna had already reinvented herself more times than most artists manage in an entire career.
And then came Bedtime Stories—a softer, dreamier, more sophisticated era that still found plenty of room for dance-floor mischief.
This UK limited edition captures that contradiction beautifully: an almost ethereal portrait wrapped in metallic shimmer, housing four mixes ready to shake the walls.
The artwork says bedtime. The remixes have absolutely no intention of going to sleep.
Original metallic sleeves like this deserve special attention because their delicate finishes can show every little indignity of handling and storage.
This particular copy has made it through more than three decades looking remarkably presentable.
An original 1995 UK collectible with its metallic glamour, original stickers, and a little of that unmistakable Madonna attitude still intact.
