Madonna is celebrating the 35th anniversary of her fourth album Like a Prayer with a new limited edition “Silver Collection” vinyl, set to be released on September 6th. The limited edition of Like A Prayer will serve as the second official release from Madonna’s “Silver Collection,” following last year’s True Blue vinyl reissue; the “Silver Collection” version of Like a Prayer is pressed on opaque silver vinyl.
Like a Prayer, released on March 21st, 1989, featured the hit songs “Express Yourself” and the album’s title track. The album was an instant classic, hailed by critics for pushing boundaries and establishing Madonna’s legendary career. Like a Prayer was Madonna’s third consecutive No. 1 album, topping the Billboard 200 for six weeks and selling 15 million copies worldwide. The single Like A Prayer became Madonna’s seventh No. 1, and was recently certified double platinum by the RIAA, while “Express Yourself” and “Cherish” both peaked at No. 2. The album also features Madonna’s collaboration with Prince, who co-wrote and sang on “Love Song” and played guitar uncredited on the double platinum title track and “Act Of Contrition.”
Like a Prayer (The Silver Collection) will be released on September 6th; orders placed on rhino.com and Madonna.com will receive an exclusive poster featuring Herb Ritts’ iconic black-and-white photograph of Madonna from the album’s back cover.
