	Duran Duran Used - Vinyl - ST-12158 1983 2nd press with yellow D in shrink.

	Duran Duran Used - Vinyl - ST-12158 1983 US reissue in updated jacket with yellow D. Some run-in noise but nice glossy player. Few crease marks & ring light wear. "Duran Duran's eponymous debut artfully coalesced the sonic and stylistic elements of the burgeoning new romantic movement they were soon to spearhead: pumping synths, glossy production, and seemingly impossible haircuts. Ultra-smart singles like "Girls on Film" and "Planet Earth" became instant smash hits both in the U.K. and America, and other fine pop gems such as "Anyone Out There" and "Careless Memories" rounded out the album's stellar first side. Side two was a far more experimental and revealing affair, with primary songwriter Nick Rhodes leading the band through atmospheric mood-pieces like "Night Boat," "Sound of Thunder," and the instrumental "Tel Aviv," all of which are particularly reminiscent of mid-era Roxy Music (clearly one of Duran's biggest influences). The band's groundbreaking music videos would do the rest, securing them a unique standing as forerunners of the first MTV generation and cementing their status as one of the decade's most successful pop music icons. [The band's first U.K. number one, the non-album single "Is There Something I Should Know?," was added to the 1983 U.S. reissue of Duran Duran, which also featured different artwork.]" All Music Guide – Eduardo Rivadavia more
	Future Past Colored Vinyl - New - 538693661 Sealed 2021 Transparent Red Vinyl Pressing. "Future Past Is Perhaps The Quintessential Title For Duran Duran In 2021, When The Veteran New Romantics Trade In Their Legacy While Keeping Their Focus Directly On The Future. Occasionally, The Gilded Synthesized Surfaces Of Future Past Recall The Futurism Of New Wave, But Duran Duran Take Pains To Not Re-create The Past By Inviting A Fresh Set Of Collaborators Into The Studio. Swedish Pop Star Tove Lo And English Rapper Ivorian Doll Are Duet Partners, Japanese Pop Band Chai Provide A Chorus Cameo, While Mike Garson -- The Pianist Best-known For His Work On David Bowie's Aladdin Sane -- Graces The Finale "Falling." Much Of The Actual Vibe And Sound Of Future Past Is Due To The Behind-the-scenes Collaborators, Specifically Producer Erol Alkan And Blur Guitarist Graham Coxon, A Pair Who Are Responsible For Co-writing And Producing The Lion's Share Of The Album. Together, Duran Duran, Coxon, And Alkan Craft A Dense, Shape-shifting Tapestry That Gets Punctured By The Guitarist's Melodic Squalls And The Group's Thick Hooks. Their Work Orbits "Beautiful Lies" And "Tonight United," A Pair Of Neo-disco Tracks Produced By Giorgio Moroder Strategically Placed In The Middle Of The Album. Much Of Future Past Feels Like Modern Disco, Music That Blurs The Distance Separating The Club And Home And That Plays With Genre As Fluidly As It Plays With Technology. Duran Duran Are Taking Some Calculated Risks Here Which Sometimes Means They Stumble -- Occasionally, The Ballads Feel A Shade Strident -- But The Restlessness Makes For A Kinetic, Exciting Album."

	Notorious Used Import - EMS-91202 1986 Japan import. "1986's Notorious has Andy Taylor contributing on only four songs before leaving to start his solo career, but on the strength of the title track's number two placing and "Skin Trade"'s number 39 mark, the album itself peaked at number 12 in the U.S. and number 16 in the U.K. On the whole, only "Notorious" showed any real livelihood, thanks to its modern gleam and the catchy stutter of its chorus. "Skin Trade" is almost as worthy, thanks to its sultry, seductive air and enchanting but complex rhythmic allure. While the writing is somewhat stable on Notorious, Duran Duran's efforts at sounding enigmatic and covert end up being hot and cold. Tracks like "American Science" and "Vertigo" try too hard, while only "Meet el Presidente," a number 24 hit in Britain, sports a rather appealing flow. Beneath Duran Duran's attempts at trying to sound musically devious, mysterious, and slightly seductive, the tracks fail to bear enough weight in order to be effective all the way through. It's easy to see why the band would choose such a route at this point in their career, but moderate doses of pop enthusiasm would have made Notorious a fuller and more enjoyable package. The provocative, nightclub brand of martini-sipping pop that does surface is meritorious to a certain extent, felt mostly in the album's two biggest tracks." All Music Guide - Mike DeGagne more

	Rio Used - Vinyl - ST 512211 1982 Original With Custom Inner Sleeve. "Rio" is the second studio album by British rock band Duran Duran, originally released on May 10, 1982.

	Rio Used - Vinyl - ST-12211 1982 US original LA pressing with Z4/Z4 runouts. "From its Nagel cover to the haircuts and overall design -- and first and foremost the music -- Rio is as representative of the '80s at its best as it gets. The original Duran Duran's high point, and just as likely the band's as a whole, its fusion of style and substance ensures that even two decades after its release it remains as listenable and danceable as ever. The quintet integrates its sound near-perfectly throughout, the John and Roger Taylor rhythm section providing both driving propulsion and subtle pacing. For the latter, consider the lush, semi-tropical sway of "Save a Prayer," or the closing paranoid creep of "The Chauffeur," a descendant of Roxy Music's equally affecting dark groover "The Bogus Man." Andy Taylor's muscular riffs provide fine rock crunch throughout, Rhodes' synth wash adds perfect sheen, and Le Bon tops it off with sometimes overly cryptic lyrics that still always sound just fine in context, courtesy of his strong delivery. Rio's two biggest smashes burst open the door in America for the New Romantic/synth rock crossover. "Hungry Like the Wolf" blended a tight, guitar-heavy groove with electronic production and a series of instant hooks, while the title track was even more anthemic, with a great sax break from guest Andy Hamilton adding to the soaring atmosphere. Lesser known cuts like "Lonely in Your Nightmare" and "Last Chance on the Stairway" still have pop thrills a-plenty, while "Hold Back the Rain" is the sleeper hit on Rio, an invigorating blast of feedback, keyboards and beat that doesn't let up. From start to finish, a great album that has outlasted its era." All Music Guide – Ned Raggett more

	Seven And The Ragged Tiger Used Import - EMS-91072 1983 Japanese pressing with Obi, insert & poster. EX/NM- jacket with corner dings. "Despite the fact that Seven and the Ragged Tiger couldn't match the unrestrained pop/rock ebullience of 1982's Rio, Duran Duran put three of the album's singles in the Top Ten, taking it to number one in the U.K. Even though "The Reflex" gave the band their first number one hit, there's an overabundance of fancy glitz and dancefloor flamboyancy running through it, unlike "New Moon on Monday"'s straight-ahead appeal or "Union of the Snake"'s mysterious, almost taboo flair. It's apparent that Seven and the Ragged Tiger's content has the band moving ever so slightly into a danceclub arena, with the songs leaning more toward their ability to produce a sexier sound through electronics and instrumentation than through a firm lyrical and musical partnership. Even the unreleased tracks trade Duran Duran's handsome edginess for a shinier sound, heard mainly on "I Take the Dice" and "Cracks in the Pavement." It's here that Lebon and Taylor's personalities begins to get overshadowed by the demand to produce a more synth-snazzy and fashionable style of music. Although they may have turned their songwriting down a notch in order to succumb to the pabulum of synthesized pop, they didn't relinquish every aspect of their genius, and when they do deliver, it's bright, energetic, and effectual. Duran Duran's new direction eventually gave Seven and the Ragged Tiger double platinum status." All Music Guide - Mike DeGagne. more

	Union Of The Snake Used Import - EMS-27008 1983 Japanese 12 inch 45rpm single, with Obi & insert. "Although they are thought of as a synth pop group, the truth is that Duran Duran was a skilled group of instrumentalists capable of creating new wave music with a variety of intriguing sonic textures. Their 1983 hit "Union of the Snake" showed off these skills by adding a gothic, hard rocking touch to their sound. The lyrics create a tense, almost hallucinatory feel as they create a scenario of a surreal revolution led by music: "If I listen close I can hear them singers, oh, oh, oh/Voices in your body coming through on the radio/The Union of the Snake is on the climb." The music maintains the suspenseful feel of the lyrics through verse melodies whose notes dart up and down and a chorus built on phrases that ascend in the most frenzied way imaginable. Duran Duran's recording of "Union of the Snake" features the kind of synthesizer flourishes required for a synth pop effort but also makes room for some squalling electric guitar riffs from Andy Taylor, creepy organ riffs and a surprisingly jazzy saxophone solo. Simon LeBon's vocal floats over this ominous stew of sounds, bringing a breathless tone to the narrative that gives it just the right touch of urgency. All these touches made "Union of the Snake" a thrilling single and helped it become one of the band's biggest successes as it peaked at number three on the U.S. and U.K. pop charts. It's video, which featured the band bedeviled in cave by serpent-like dancers, attracted a bit of controversy in the news because it was released prior to the single and this move was considered unfair by radio programmers. Despite this brouhaha, "Union of the Snake" played an important role in Duran Duran's early-'80s hit streak and remains one of their most exciting efforts." All Music Guide - Donald A. Guarisco. more
