On July 12 1986, Madonna’s Papa Don’t Preach reached #1 in the UK and stayed there for 3 weeks.

Madonna’s first-ever CD single was for Papa Don’t Preach. The single was produced in the UK for distribution in the USA. The rare gold disc CD single featured 3 audio tracks as well as the official video for Papa Don’t Preach in NTSC format.

The single included:

  • Papa Don’t Preach (7″ Version) (4:27)
  • Papa Don’t Preach (12″ Version) (5:43)
  • Pretender (LP Version) (4:28)
  • Papa Don’t Preach (Video) (5:05)

  1. I’ve heard the 12″ version and am thinking the 7″ version must be the one that’s on the promo It’s that Girl released in 1987.

  2. Papa Don’t Preach-one of many Madonna tunes with a classical influence-Both Vivaldi and Mozart would be proud of Madonna courtesy of that violin hook!
