“Into the Groove” is a song by American singer Madonna from the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan originally released in 1984.

In 1987 The song was remixed by Shep Pettibone for Madonna’s remix compilation You Can Dance. In the United States, a promotional 12″ single was issued containing exclusive unmixed versions without the inclusion of the fade in and outs that are present on the album.

The 12″ also includes a remix of Madonna’s debut single”Everybody” remixed by Bruce Forest, and Frank Heller with additional keyboards by David Cole of C + C Music Factory. This version is also taken from the You Can Dance remix compilation and is exclusive to this 12″ promo.

** Also of note at the end of both versions of “Into The Groove” during the fade ot there is a bump sound this is not a flaw I have two copies of this 12″ and this is present in both copies. This is also present in the promo CD which contains the single edits of the songs.
