The 12" Maxi Vinyl is distinct from the 7" single or LP album version. It was pressed for DJs and audiophiles, featuring extended mixes, deeper grooves (louder volume/bass), and better frequency response.

Like A Virgin marked the moment Madonna became a global icon. Its evolution from a vinyl record—packed with 12-inch remixes—to a digital masterpiece shows the enduring power of the songwriting and production. Whether you're listening on high-end vinyl or a digital device, the album remains a quintessential piece of pop history. Compare the 1984 vinyl sound vs the 2001 remaster.

For purists, DJs, and serious collectors, the format of Like a Virgin is the holy grail. Maxi singles became highly popular in the 1980s club scene because they allowed for longer tracks and deeper bass grooves.

12-inch vinyl records spin at 45 RPM, allowing for wider grooves, louder sound, and better bass response compared to a standard 33 1/3 RPM LP.

Do not confuse the standard album version with the maxi. Most 12" pressings include:
