Over 70 items of Madonna<\/a> memorabilia are currently up for auction<\/a>, including costumes, demo cassette tapes and, most famously, a handwritten apology letter from Tupac Shakur<\/a> that was sent to Madge a year before his death. The auction, hosted by Madonna\u2019s former art advisor Darlene Lutz and the auction house Gotta Have Rock & Roll, comes despite a two<\/a>\u2013year<\/a> battle<\/a> with Madonna herself, who told a judge<\/a> that her celebrity \u201cdoes not obviate my right to maintain my privacy.\u201d Madonna\u2019s injunction was overturned<\/a> by an appeals court last month.<\/p>\n

Now, in an effort to deter fans from bidding, Madonna\u2019s co-writer and co-producer Patrick Leonard has shared several demo tracks, \u201crecorded the day they were written,\u201d from her 1989 album Like a Prayer<\/a><\/em>. Stereogum reports<\/a> that the original demos of \u201cCherish\u201d and \u201cLike a Prayer,\u201d as well as the unreleased track \u201cAngels With Dirty Faces,\u201d were all uploaded to Youtube on July 22nd.<\/p>\n
