- EQ magazine recently featured an article on Shep Pettibone recording
- Madonna. One of the things I found interesting about the interview
- was that Madonna talked him out of laying down some tracks on the
- "Erotica" album that had a more "Vogue"-ish sound to them than the
- tracks that are there. Her claim was that "Vogue" was a
- once-in-a-lifetime thing.
-
- What do you all think of that? Do you think "Vogue" is the best
- Madonna will ever do, from a production, songwriting, and/or vocal
- standpoint? I have not heard much from "Erotica", but what I have
- heard isn't as strong in any of those areas as some of her previous
- material, IMHO.
-
- As an aside, Pettibone also noted that, at Madonna's request, they
- used Shure SM57 mics for recording the vocals to get a rougher sound.
- I wonder if SM57s were used to record "This Used To Be My Playground"
- also. The vocal isn't as good as it could have been, IMHO.
