 Attention Sheeple! Mar 12, 2008
I am a huge Durannie and always will be, but gone are the days when a band or record label can print a friggen number on a box of something we ALREADY OWN (on a dying format, no less) and re-re-resell it to me as a "Collectible".
Screw you, EMI. You got my dollars for these albums on vinyl, cassette, and cd (I even have Rio on 8-track still!!!). Ya gets no more o' my dough.

DD Box Set Mar 21, 2006
If you are a diehard DD fan, this is right up your alley! It was well worth the money to give my son a gift of the band he still thinks walks on water!

3 albums that span continents of style... A++ Oct 10, 2004
Who is this clown rohitrao who just wants to waste his time praising old-fart druggie droning and going after bands in totally different genres? Cripes, get a life! And deal with the fact that Gilmore played with these lads for a reason...
Duran Duran's first three albums cover more ground than Pink Floyd ever WILL! PinkF wrote a few Excellent #'s but will always stay stuck in their rut. DD have covered more ground in their careers, much less these 3 albums, than most bands EVER will.. try to deny that, goofus! These 3 DD albums tested the boundaries of sound, and where a band could go, while striking a chord with the world consciousness(Pink Floyd were never compared to the Beatles..).
The first CD shows a band jumping up to proclaim itself with exceptional zeal, the second was perhaps their masterpiece in bravado, excitement and breadth, and the 3rd perhaps suffers from overproduction and silly topics. Personally though, I enjoyed the ambiguous lyrics as I always appreciate mystery and impressionism. Stretch your audiences imagination, you'll both grow from the experience. And, to top things off, the last two songs on Seven and the Ragged Tiger (Tiger Tiger and Seventh Stranger) encompass as much atmosphere and intrigue as a whole Pink Floyd excursion, in 1/6 of the time; and THAT is much more palatable and effective than hours and hours in a PF daze.
5 stars easily, as a collection.
