Like a Virgin & Other Big Hits! is the first EP recorded by American singer and songwriter Madonna, released on October 10, 1984 through Sire Records. It was exclusively made available for consumption in Japan, but was re-released in the United States in 2016 with the privilege of the Record Store Day. The EP includes four tracks—"Like a Virgin" from the singer's 1984 album of the same name, and "Holiday", "Lucky Star" and "Borderline" from her eponymous debut record.
The EP incorporated remixes done by American disc jockey John "Jellybean" Benitez, which previously made appearance on various of Madonna's maxi single releases. While the original edition of Like a Virgin & Other Big Hits! failed to reach any record chart, its 2016 re-release experienced moderate commercial success by reaching four Billboard' component charts, including the Dance/Electronic Albums and Top Tastemaker Albums charts.
Like a Virgin & Other Big Hits! includes four singles that were recorded prior to the release of both the aforementioned record and her then-upcoming second studio album, Like a Virgin (1984). Three of the EP's singles—"Holiday", "Lucky Star", and "Borderline"—were previously included on her 1983 debut studio album, Madonna; its title track would later be included on Like a Virgin. The record's remixes of "Borderline" and "Lucky Star" produced by John "Jellybean" Benitez were originally paired on a 12" maxi single released in the United States on February 15, 1984.
