ARCADIA - SO RED THE ROSE - Vinyl LP - EMI Records - 1985 - VG FREE POSTAGE 2613

Overview: This is the So Red the Rose LP by Arcadia, originally released in November 1985 by Parlophone Records. Arcadia was a side project formed by three members of Duran Duran—Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, and Roger Taylor—during the band's hiatus. The album features a mix of synth-pop, new wave, and art rock, with contributions from David Gilmour, Sting, and Grace Jones. So Red the Rose was a Top 30 hit in the US and UK, with the single Election Day reaching No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Key Features:

  • Synth-Pop & Art Rock Sound: A blend of atmospheric synths, layered production, and cinematic arrangements.

  • Star-Studded Collaborations: Features David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Sting, Grace Jones, and Carlos Alomar, adding depth to the album’s sound.

  • Hit Singles: Includes Election Day, The Promise, and Goodbye Is Forever, which became fan favorites.

  • Authentic Production: Recorded at Studio de la Grande Armée (Paris, France) and Power Station (New York, USA).

  • Packaging: Original LP sleeve with artwork designed by Assorted Images, reflecting the album’s mystical and surreal themes.

Tracklist:

Side One

  1. Election Day

  2. Keep Me in the Dark

  3. Goodbye Is Forever

  4. The Flame

  5. Missing

Side Two

  1. Rose Arcana

  2. The Promise

  3. El Diablo

  4. Lady Ice

Why This LP Stands Out: So Red the Rose is considered one of the most sophisticated and experimental albums from the Duran Duran members, blending lush production with artistic ambition. The album remains a cherished piece of 1980s music history and a sought-after collectible for fans of Arcadia and Duran Duran.
