I started my website in 2002 as I couldn't really find a decent discography site, I'm sure there were I just couldn't find them, however my site holds my collection as a reference point for myself and anyone else who collects to enjoy it and refer to it.

I first discovered Madonna in 1986 via the 'True Blue' single and since then I've been hooked. I'm inspired by her performances and enjoy all her music, the collecting bug has always been in my family as my father collects Bing Crosby.

I've seen Madonna in concert 9 times starting with 'The Girlie Show' back in 1993 when I was just 16 years old. I couldn't possibly choose favourite songs / albums / films etc... as depending on the mood they are all equal, however here are some facts...

First Single - True Blue

First Album - True Blue

First Concert - The Girlie Show

First Movie - Shanghai Surprise

First time Madonna shocked me - When she said 'Fuck', 16 times on Radio 1

First time (and only time) I thought my love for her had faded - When the Ray of light album was released, I didn't understand it, this only lasted several months.

Most proud Madonna moment - When the world loved her for her performance in Evita

Some tracks that I play more than perhaps others - Oh Father / Keep it together / Burning Up / Secret / Dress you up / Something to Remember / Gambler / Sooner or Later / Nothing Really Matters / Deeper and deeper...(it's endless really)

Concert I've most watched - Blond Ambition

Video singles I love - Nothing really matters / Rain / La Isla Bonita / Don't tell me

Most amount of money spent - (besides concert tickets) I spent £175 on the Japanese 40 CD single box set in 1997.

Least amount of money spent - I bought Burning Up and Holiday, Australian 7" singles for 50p each, I remember buying Dear Jessie UK 7" picture disc in the bargain bin for 99p. I bought the entire set of Evita phonecards and wallets for about £20. If you search for it you can find it.

I hope you have enjoyed looking through my site and I hope you enjoy collecting Madonna as much as I do
