Madonna has released Gambler on digital platforms amid her ongoing 40th anniversary celebrations.
The single originally featured on the ‘Vision Quest’ film soundtrack but has remained unavailable online in the years since.
However, almost four decades after its release, the song has finally been issued at “Madonna’s personal request”, according to a representative from Rhino (via Billboard).
It comes bundled with the dance mix and instrumental mix of the song, which were only available on physical singles. Gambler was never included on any of her studio releases.
Madonna recently marked the 30th anniversary of ‘Erotica’ with the release of a limited edition 12” vinyl picture disc, featuring a colourised version of the famous ‘toe sucking’ photo taken from her ‘Sex’ book.
The Erotica picture disc is available now.
It comes after she celebrated her 50 US Dance Club Songs Chart No. 1 hits with the ‘Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones’ remix collection.
The 50-track collection includes her favourite remixes of her dance hits, spanning her entire four-decade career.
Each remix has been newly remastered by Mike Dean, who produced Madonna’s two most-recent studio albums, ‘Rebel Heart’ (2015) and ‘Madame X’ (2019).
In addition to the bumper set, an abridged 16-track LP, simply titled ‘Finally Enough Love’, has also been issued.
‘Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones’ is available now.
