First EP? It was a Japan only release[edit]

I wondering why after 32 years this Japanese release is now being considered Madonna's first EP and now added in her album discography timeline? In Japan, many of Madonna's single releases were expanded versions, sometimes with combinations of two releases e.g. "Deeper and Deeper", "Remixed Prayers" and "Rain". This was only released in Japan until 2016 when it was reissued again. I really don't think it warrants its own page and this should be included in the "Like a Virgin" single page. jwad.... blah | blah | blah 20:44, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Should this not be merged into the LAV single page[edit]

I am struggling to see the relevance of this page as its a Japanese EP which was common place in the 1980s and 90s. Madonna released many during this time in Japan, usually tracklisting a few singles together. The only reason this page has been created was because it was rereleased a few years back for Record Store Day. I think this page should be merged into the Like A Virgin singles page or on the album page. It does not need it own standalone page and was only originally released in one country. Its not relevant. jwad.... blah | blah | blah 08:53, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why should this Japanese EP be included in the general chronology?[edit]

I can't see why this particular Japanese EP should be included in the general album chronology when other Japanese EPs are not. Remixed & Revisited, which is another EP in the chronology, was at least a global release and not linked to any single. If anything, this belongs to a single chronology, and might even be just a section of the Like a Virgin single page (see other topics here). Following @Jwad's remarks, I think today's contributors misunderstand the status of these Japanese EPs, which were basically glorified maxi-singles. In general, I think we should always be careful of anachronism. Lchevassu (talk) 11:52, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
