Music reviews of Essential Collection

Music Review: The term "essential" may be misleading
Rating: 3 Stars

I am huge fan of Duran Duran but I think this collection may be misleading if you are really looking to buy a collection that truly has the essential Duran Duran singles. This collection doesn't have the 3 most quintessential Duran Duran hits, namely "The Reflex", "The Wild Boys" and "A View To A Kill" and seems to cover only the songs from their first 2 albums Duran Duran and Rio (with the exception of "Is There Something I should know?" which was a single release).

"Anyone Out There" and "Sound of Thunder" from 1st album Duran Duran and "Hold Back The Rain" and "Last Chance on The Stairway" from Rio are interesting choices to include in the Essential collection as well as some of the B-Sides hits like "Like An Angel" and "Come and Make Me Smile". Don't get me wrong, these are all great songs and you can enjoy them but if you wish to build a serious collection for Duran Duran, you may be better off buying Duran Duran, Rio and Seven and The Ragged Tiger albums or if you wish to buy a greatest hits collection, you may be better of buying Greatest.

Also, if you are big enough a fan, you should consider buying Singles Box Set 1981-1985 which includes a lot of the B-sides hits which were not available on any previously released studio album; they are a great treat especially to people like me who never got to hear them because they were not released in any format in my country. They also have Singles 1986-1995 which are also great but doesn't have the same 80s sound you used to hearing on their first 3 studio albums and Arena which is their concert/concept album from 1985.

EMI Gold.
