Quality New and Pre-Owned CD's. I try to buy the highest quality pre-owned cd's for my customers. We spend many hours searching for the best pre-owned cds from top-notch record dealers and wholesalers in our area. Many of the cds we sell are in new or like new condition and some are still factory sealed (will be noted). Our cds are sometime marked in some way by the supplier, either with a hole punch through the bar code, a cut through a side of the jewel case or a pen mark on the package itself. These marks do not in any way affect the play ability of the cd. I replace any jewel case with major damage (i.e. major cracks, broken ears, etc.). All cover art is present unless otherwise noted. Please contact me with any concerns before leaving feedback so we can resolve them. Customer satisfaction is my goal and I appreciate your business! Payment please in 5 days of auction close. Thanks!

ROLLING STONE BIO

Formed:

Jan 1, 1978 in Birmingham, England

Duran Duran personified New Wave for much of the mainstream audience. And for good reason, too. Duran Duran's reputation was built through music videos, which accentuated their fashion-model looks and glamorous sense of style. Without music videos, it's likely that the band's pop-funk -- described by the group as the Sex Pistols meets Chic -- would never have made them international pop stars. While Duran Duran did have sharper pop sensibilities than their New Romantic contemporaries like Spandau Ballet and Ultravox, none of their peers exploited MTV and music video like the Birmingham-based quintet. Each video the group made was distinctive, incorporating a number of cinematic styles to showcase the band as either part of the jet-setting elite ("Rio") or as worldly adventurers ("Hungry Like the Wolf"). While early videos like "Girls on Film" and "The Chauffeur" sparked controversy in England over their sexual content, their best-known clips were often based on hit contemporary movies. "Hungry Like the Wolf" uncannily recalled Raiders of the Lost Ark, while "Union of the Snake" and "The Wild Boys" brought to mind The Road Warrior. The clever videos helped make Duran Duran's rise to popularity remarkably swift. Between 1982 and 1984, they rocketed from underground British post-punk sensations to teen idols. But their fall from grace was equally fast. By the late '80s, the group's lineup had fragmented, and the remaining members had trouble landing hit singles. Nevertheless, the group pulled off a surprising, if short-lived, comeback in the early '90s as a sophisticated soft-rock trio.

GREAT REVIEW, GREAT CD!

Overall, I was very impressed with the creativity, excellent song structures, and musicianship. The first song, they rocked & grooved in "White Lines" but it's going to take a while to get use to Simone LeBon's weak rappin' voice. Even though, the scratchin' was fun to listen to and the beat was heavy and pounding. The follow-up song is a song I love by Sly & the Family Stone,"I Wanna Take You Higher." I loved the guitar riffs in this one, and the ending was cool when everyone is getting down.

After that, Duran Duran came out with some mellower stuff, Lou Reed's "Perfect Day," Elvis Costello's Watching the Detectives," and the classic Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay." To appreciate those songs, you would have to listen to it from beginning to end, and LeBon's singing was excellent.

Then, they did Public Enemy's "911 is a Joke." This time, LeBon's rappin' was great and funky, and I loved the beginning sound of the Mississippi Blues guitar and harmonica. After that came Iggy Pop's "Success," written by David Bowie. This version was awesome and it made me realized they actually picked GREAT SONGS! for the cover cd. Although, I didn't care for the Doors' "Crystal Ship." It's just not that good of a song period. "Ball of Confusion" was unique and interesting, and I enjoyed it. The surprised part is when I heard Led Zepplin's "Thank You." LeBon sounded like Robert Plant totally, but in a unique way. The atmospheric sound of the song was tremendous. The only song they wrote was "Drive by," which was very creative. The song creeped slowly in an intense atmospheric way again, and after it builds up, somebody breaks out in a recorder solo, which was awesome! The finishing song was another part of the first cover tune of Sly's. This time, they band just got into rocking in a soulful way and LeBon was getting down with his singing.

As you can see, I'm loved this cd...I think it has to be one of the greatest cover tunes cd around. I would love to see a good band do some Stones' songs and try to make it fresh and great. I probably won't write another review because this took longer than I thought, but it was worth it. You guys in Duran Duran, I did you righteous. Peace brothers!
