Product Details:
This is a stunning collector´s edition of Duran Duran's album 'ALL YOU NEED IS NOW'
- their critically acclaimed, return to roots tour-de-force, produced by Mark Ronson.??
Renowned for fusing pop music with art and fashion in groundbreaking ways, Duran Duran have always been at the forefront of the art scene,
and this super limited pop art masterpiece sets a new bar even by their standards.??
Enlisting the superb talents of British artist Clunie Reid (Saatchi Gallery, the Tate, New Museum NY), with art direction by UK fashion magazine POP’s creative team, under the steer of fast-rising art talent Rory McCartney, the band have
individually signed and numbered each edition.??
Limited to only 500 copies worldwide, each collectors copy comprises:
- A hand-crafted, transparent black Perspex box with clear face on outer front, providing an artwork frame that can be individually curated by each owner.?
- Five heavyweight 180-gram clear vinyl records pressed on the classic EMI 1400, each mastered for vinyl, with the new album pressed across two records, plus an LP of bonus tracks and two 12" remixes (full tracklist below), including the much sought-after David Lynch reworking of Girl Panic !
- Five beautifully treated bespoke record sleeves, featuring remarkable exclusive artwork on both sides by Clunie Reid.?
- Exclusive 36-page book with lyrics silver foiled onto black pages, housed in a gorgeous silver mirrored paper cover, each hand signed and numbered by the members of Duran Duran.
- Exclusive 36-page book showcasing Clunie Reid's album artwork, with a die-cut front cover of the band's instantly recognisable D logo.
Work on 'ALL YOU NEED IS NOW' started in the late Spring of 2009, at Sphere Studios in London, and as the much-anticipated Duran/Ronson union flourished, and the writing and recording of an exciting new body of work began, Ronson boldly stated that he felt they were making the “imaginary follow up to Rio that never was.”
With this newfound partnership, the band were energized and excited by the music they were creating. The result is nothing short of pure Duran Duran brilliance harking back to their classic signature sound. ??
Acclaimed by everyone from the FT to Rolling Stone as their best album for 18 years, 'ALL YOU NEED IS NOW' features guest vocals/rap from longtime Duran Duran pal/collaborator Ana Matronic of the Scissor Sisters and R&B / neo-soul superstar Kelis, while Owen Pallett of Arcade Fire contributes the album’s string arrangements.
