Omsider, og for aller første gang, er det duket for reutgivelser av Duran Durans hellige graler og hvite hvaler på vinyl! Duran Duran (The Wedding Album) og Thank You har ikke vært ute på vinyl siden henholdsvis 1993 og 1995, og originalutgaver omsettes for ENORME summer på bruktmarkedet. Nå kan du endelig sikre deg disse godbitene til en overkommelig pris. Albumene slippes 10. april på dobbel vinyl og CD, og kan forhåndsbestilles nå!
Following in 1995, “Thank You” was an album of covers featuring songs written by Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Lou Reed and Elvis Costello. The album charted in the top20 of both UK and US charts. Originally squeezed onto 1LP, "Thank You" is highly sought after as neither have been re-pressed on vinyl since it's original release. It is now spread across 140g 2LPs for the best sound.
After decades of being among the most elusive treasures for record collectors, the ambitious Duran Duran covers project "Thank You" is being reissued on vinyl, marking a long-awaited homecoming for the music that redefined the band’s trajectory during a decade of immense cultural transition.
"Thank You" was a daring detour where Duran Duran stepped back to pay homage to the pioneers who shaped their own musical DNA. By tackling a diverse range of influences - from the glam-rock of Lou Reed and David Bowie to the heavy riffs of Led Zeppelin and the revolutionary hip-hop of Grandmaster Flash - Duran Duran demonstrated an hitherto unseen versatility that few of their peers could match. While it was a bold experimental move at the time, the album has undergone a significant critical reappraisal in the years since. Famously championed by Lou Reed himself, who called their version of "Perfect Day" the finest cover of his work, the album is now celebrated as a fascinating, genre-bending snapshot of the band's artistic curiosity.
