Justify My Love is a first VHS video single by singer Madonna. Released by Warner Music Vision, it contained the highly controversial and sexual charged video which was banned by MTV, which was a first for a Madonna release. To captialize on the controversy, Madonna decided to release it commercially and it became the highest selling video single of all time.[1]

Released on VHS only, the packaging in North America was a plain black slip cover with a sticker around it, so that it resembled a "seedy video". In Europe it was given the full cover artwork treatment and they also included a bonus video of Madonna's performance of "Vogue" at the 1990 MTV Music Video Awards, which was ironic as MTV had banned the title track.
