Composition

Great article! However I found something that needs corrected, ideally by the person who wrote it:

"A disconcerting sound is present at the end of the track, which, after sometime increases in volume until then next track "Over and Over" begins.[9]" That's not correct, because "Physical Attraction" closed Side A of the album, on the vinyl and CD section. It was never mixed together with "Over And Over", which opens Side B of the album and starts "Clean" on both vinyl and CD versions (cassettes are the same).

Yes I understand what you are saying, but the author Rooksby does say that. Even I have the same cassette like u, hence wondering. — Legolas ^(talk2me) 04:27, 27 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to delete it. I've been listening to the song this afternoon, and this statement just isn't true. There's no "disconcerting sound" in Physical Attraction. Plus, I don't think the statement about the middle eight is true either. It sounds the same to me. I haven't read this elsewhere--other than sources that copy this article or the cited source verbatim. Maybe if someone else finds a corroborating source that isn't just copying this article or the Rooksby book, it can come back. Ww adh77 (talk) 22:12, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up: I know have the Rooksby book, and the "disconcerting sound" he mentions is silence. He's making a joke. Ww adh77 (talk) 17:27, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This page has attracted some comment, but the background to the album, at a time of meteoric rise for Madonna worldwide could do with some attention.
