Lead

• Released by Warner Music Video on November 13, 1985, — shouldn't it be through, not by
  • Works fine.
• it contains a concert date from The Virgin Tour, filmed at Cobo Arena in Detroit, Michigan on May 25, 1985. — It doesn't ACTUALLY contain a date, so shouldn't it be contains footage from a concert date or something.
  • Reworded.
• Madonna got busy with the recording — busy doesn't sound like the best word here, perhaps something like Madonna started recording.
  • Correct.
• The performance of "Angel", — performance should be plural
  • Oops.
• performance was not strong in them. — strong? consider rewording.
  • Reworded.
• was certified gold — i'm pretty sure there should be an a after certified.
  • I'm afraid not, its always written as "certified [gold/platinum/diamond/silver]".

I'll review some more tomorrow. CrowzRSA 22:48, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing the article CrowzRSA. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:45, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Background

• Madonna got busy with the recording of her third studio album — busy doesn't sound like the best word here, perhaps something like Madonna started recording.
• Add link to Director (Film director)
• and shooting for the film Shanghai Surprise — Add what genre the video is (it's a comedy film)
• It portrayed Madonna in her first image makeover, with platinum blond curls, and conservative wardrobe. — things like makeover and wardrobe should be linked.
• The performance of "Angel", — performance should be plural
• performance was not strong in them. — strong? consider rewording.
• Add link to music video
  • Corrected all. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 11:16, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Reception

No problems here.

Track listing

• It was released on VHS and later on Laserdisc, to this date no DVD release has been announced. It was also released as part of a three VHS box set The Madonna Collection in 2000. — Is there a ref for this?

• Yes. Rooksby has a tracklisting section at the end of his book, so has Morton. Used Rooksby though. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 05:13, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
