Madonna Louise Ciccone, professionally known as Madonna, is an American singer, entertainer, songwriter, actress, producer, director and businesswoman. Born on August 16, 1958 in Bay City, Michigan. She signed with a record label in 1982 and released her debut album the following year. Madonna has since become one of the most successful recording artists of all time. With over 300 million records sold worldwide, she holds the title for best-selling female artist according to Guinness World Records.

Madonna's talent and influence have earned her numerous accolades throughout her career. In her first year of eligibility, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. VH1 ranked her at number one on their list of 100 Greatest Women in Music. Additionally, Billboard named her the second greatest Hot 100 artist of all time (behind only The Beatles), solidifying her status as the most successful solo artist in American singles chart history.

With a diverse range of talents and achievements spanning music, film production and entrepreneurship, Madonna continues to be a trailblazer in the entertainment industry. Her impact on popular culture is undeniable and she remains an iconic figure for generations to come.

Warner Bros. Records, founded in 1958 by Jack Warner, started as a soundtrack factory for Warner Bros. movie studios. Over the years, it has evolved into a renowned label with subsidiary labels like Reprise Records, Sire Records, Maverick Records, Warner Nashville, Warner Jazz, Warner Western, and Word Label Group. With more than 60 years of experience in the industry and an impressive roster of artists across various genres, Warner Bros. has become a leading name in the music world.

The label has used several pressing facilities including *Capitol Records* and *Columbia Pressings*. Throughout its history, Warner Bros. has had different label designs for mono LPs and stereo LPs. From grey labels with black WB Shield to gold labels with Vitaphonic Long Play or Stereo wording at the bottom; from green labels featuring the W7 logo to palm trees labels without any address mentioned; and finally transitioning to tan labels with narrow horizontal lines before settling on white labels with large WB shield and ghosted gray shields floating in the background since 1983.

To determine first pressings of US LPs on this label, collectors can look out for specific details such as color variations on the label design or Saul Bass W logo on sleeves introduced after 1975. The presence or absence of certain addresses on palm trees labels also helps identify different pressings over time.
