EMI Gold.

CD Reviews

Collection of b-sides and album tracks

M. Myers | STL mo | 06/06/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a odd collection of Duran tracks from 1981 to 1983. Tracks 1,2,4,5,and 6 are all from their debut 1981 self-titles album. Track 3 is the b-side from the 'Careless Memories' 7 inch. Track 7 is from the 1983 re-release of their bebut album. Track 8 is the b-side to the 'My Own Way' single from 1982. Tracks 10 thru 17 are the entire 'Rio' album from 1982. And track 18 is the b-side to the 'Reflex' single, recorded live in 1982 but released in 1983. This is basically Duran's best two albums w/ some good b-sides, I'm suprised at its set up and selection, but its worth a listen"

A Little Disappointed

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I read somewhere that this collection contained the original, extended LP version of Hungry Like the Wolf. Wrong. It's not here. It's the US CD version, which I already have. If anyone can tell me where to find that version on CD I'd be grateful. That aside, the collection is impressive as it contains lots of obscure tracks that I've never heard of. I bought it for 5 bucks, so I really can't complain. However, I'm still on a mission to get that extended version. I won't stop!"
