Music reviews of Singles 81-85

Music Review: Multiple versions of your favorites, plus great B-sides are included.
Rating: 5 Stars

I purchased the 3 disc version of this box set back in November, and I must say that I am really glad that I did!! I love having the different versions of my favorite songs, complete versions of others such as "Save a Prayer" and the addition of B-sides that I had previously not heard. I really enjoyed hearing "Late Bar", "Khanada", "Faster Than Light", "Secret Oktober", and the acoustic version of "The Chauffeur" for the very first time and have grown to really like all of these songs. A lot of their B-sides and unreleased demos throughout their career could have been major hits or at least should have been included on the original full length album. I am so looking forward to their new CD "All You Need Is Now" with additional tracks in March 2011!! What I have heard so far from the digital release from last December is amazing and back to the DD I know and love.

Description of Singles 81-85

2009 three CD set from the New Wave quintet containing all of their singles (A and B-sides) released between 1981 and 1985. From their debut single 'Planet Earth' to their James Bond theme, 'View To A Kill', Duran Duran could do no wrong and were one of the most sucessful Pop acts of the '80s. This triple box features all 13 singles released during their first four years including seven inch single mixes, extended mixes and b-sides. Features the hits 'Rio', 'Hungry Like The Wolf', 'The Wild Boys', 'Girls On Film', 'Save A Prayer', 'Is There Something I Should Know', 'The Reflex' and many more. EMI.
The arrival of The Singles demonstrates perfect timing. With the impulse to treat 1980s pop with irony finally dying and cutting-edge American bands such as the Rapture and the Faint directly sourcing Brit synth-pop, this lavish box set now sounds like a key dance-rock primer. Unlike the other major players in the early 1980s British Invasion of America, Simon Le Bon, John Taylor, Roger Taylor, Andy Taylor, and Nick Rhodes weren't afraid to rock. They rocked hardest on their early singles, as the glossy black box of the first 13 singles, lovingly recreated for CD, proves. The first eight--from the turbo-powered disco of "Planet Earth" to the synthetic Beatles-influenced pop of "Is There Something I Should Know?"--work on the tension between the band's mega-pop ambitions and their rudimentary instrumental skills, creating an eerie, erotic desperation. The full compliment of B-sides--particularly a hysterical, uber-youth club stab at David Bowie's "Fame"--charm with their gung-ho ridiculousness. "A View to a Kill" may be slick Bond theme, but this set is so evocative of strange pop times that you'll end up with "Rio" and "The Wild Boys" on a permanent mind-loop. --Garry Mulholland
