Duran Duran will release a box set covering their singles from 1986 through to 1995 on September 13. Singles Box 2 1986 - 1995 will feature all the band's tracks from the original seven-inch singles plus many bonus tracks taken from the 12-inch versions. It will be the first time many of the songs have been made available on CD. The album covers a period when the Birmingham band had lost two of its original members, guitarist Andy Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor. Bass player John Taylor quit the band to pursue a solo career in 1996. Amongst the tracks are Notorious, No. 7 in the UK in 1986, All She Wants, No. 9 in 1989 and Ordinary World, No. 6 in 1993, as well as minor hits Skin Trade, Meet El Presidente, I Don't Want Your Love, Do You Believe In Shame, Burning The Ground, Do You Believe In Shame, Violence Of Summer, Come Undone, Too Much Information, Perfect Day, Serious and White Lines (Don't Do It). Singles 2 is the second Duran Duran box set from EMI following the release last year of Singles 1 covering the period 1981 to 1985. The five original members of the band, singer SImon Le Bon, keyboard player Nick Rhodes, and the three Taylors, are currently working on their first album together since 1983's Ragged and the Seven Tiger. Earlier this year they toured the UK and performed at the Brit Awards where they received the Outstanding Contribution to British Music award. The new album is due this autumn. |
