Naked Eyes - Everything and More


Rare 'Archival Edition' CD containing exclusive 'Promises Promises' remix with Madonna officially confirmed as backing vocalist.  

Naked Eyes are a British new wave band from the early 1980s.  One of their singles, 'Promises Promises', has long been rumoured as containing a rare early Madonna vocal due to the involvement of her then boyfriend, John 'Jellybean' Benitez, having remixed a 12" version.  Many collectors therefore erroneously believed that Madonna's vocals appeared on the UK releases, both 7" and 12", but sadly this was not the case. Only the US 12", and even then only the version remixed by Jellybean, contained Madonna's contribution.  The single itself was released in 1983 but failed to chart in the UK. 

The 2002 CD below is surprisingly scarce.  It appears to have been issued in extremely limited numbers as a specialist pressing.  It quickly shot up in value as it contains a unique 7" Jellybean remix of 'Promises Promises' with Madonna's vocals which has never been released before and is only available on this CD - see photo containing the text.  In addition, the 12" Jellybean version - also with Madonna's vocals - is also included along with the standard 12" (remixed by Tony Mansfield) which does not. 

Valuations vary.  A lucky collector might snap it up from an unsuspecting seller but the last time it was released on eBay the bids ended close to £40 while those in the know on Discogs ask for anything up to £100!   

CD - issued in 2002
