On November 12 1984, Madonna’s Like A Virgin album was released by Sire Records. The album was re-released worldwide in 1985, to include the bonus track, Into the Groove.
The original track listing for Madonna’s second album included:
Material Girl
Angel
Like A Virgin
Over & Over
Love Don’t Live Here Anymore
Dress You Up
Shoo-Bee-Doo
Pretender
Stay
The cover sleeve and album insert images were shot by Steven Meisel. The first shot in this post was used for the album cover. The rest of the photos in this post are outtakes from the same photo shoot.









No sophomore jinx here-Like a Virgin had the seismic effect of a thunderbolt. Madonna arrived as an artist. Material Girl and the #1 hit title cut were the big hits. However, her first ballad Love Don’t Live Here Anymore revealed a hidden depth of feeling and emotion that was to become a Madonna hallmark and trademark.
