M DEMO UP FOR BID

A unique item is a demo tape an unknown performer named Madonna made in 1979 to send to record companies in an attempt to get a recording contract. Accompanied by an acoustic guitar, it's just Madonna, her music unadorned by post-production magic and elaborate orchestration. The songs on the tape include "All My Love," "Hear Me" (a song that evolved into "Shine a Light"), "Simon Says" (which became the familiar "Love Express") and "Little Lost Boy."

Julien estimates the tape will bring $1,000 to $2,000, noting that the Material Girl still holds the copyrights to all the songs.
