From NILE RODGERS Twitter:

Nathan Russell (MaddysMuff):
@nilerodgers Got any good unreleased Madonna material stashed away? :) about 20 hours ago from web in reply to nilerodgers

NILE RODGERS:
The basement has treasures of demos-unfinished ideas-even our cassette are smoking-R&B was crazy back in the day-OMG- relentless grooving about 20 hours ago from TweetDeck

@MaddysMuff Madonna's stuff was all one take. If we didn't get it right we'd go over the tape. about 20 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to MaddysMuff

Besides these treasures of demos (unfinished ideas) there is also an official remix of the song "Like A Virgin" made by NILE RODGERS in 1984 that was not used, the chosen remix was made by JOHN "JELLYBEAN" BENITEZ. The album "Like A Virgin" was reissued in 2001 with 2 bonus tracks, "Like A Virgin (Extended Dance Remix)" and "Material Girl (Extended Dance Remix)", both remixed by JOHN "JELLYBEAN" BENITEZ, incredible remixes, but this album would have a great attraction if it were included also the remix done by NILE RODGERS, must also be wonderful, but unfortunately this remix is still on the shelf.

05) 1983 LIKE A VIRGIN (BILLY STEINBERG & TOM KELLY DEMO):
BILLY STEINBERG and TOM KELLY wrote the song, and KELLY sang on the demo. In an interview with Songfacts, STEINBERG said:
"When MADONNA recorded it, even as our demo faded out, on the fade you could hear TOM saying, 'When your heart beats, and you hold me, and you love me...' That was the last thing you heard as our demo faded. MADONNA must have listened to it very, very carefully because her record ends with the exact same little ad-libs that our demo did. That rarely happens that someone studies your demo so carefully that they use all that stuff. We were sort of flattered how carefully she followed our demo on that."
