It feels like it is becoming more and more common for anniversary editions of albums to be a thing, I guess because we're all suckers for new packaging and coloured records with the potential of a few unheard tracks. Plus, of course, we're finding that more and more albums are being re-released on vinyl to meet the unexpected demand in the 2020s for the format. If you spot a re-issue that you think is essential or likely to appeal others on the forum then drop a link to the new version in here so we can all overspend together

The album was never officially released in the UK at all although I did get the import CD back at the time. It's quite an unusual album for Duran Duran, it's even more experimental and more of a departure than the Wedding album was with only Out of my Mind coming close to being a typical DD single - which is a track that I love, plus it has the wonderful Electric Barbarella is one of their most underrated songs.
