About an year ago someone posted in this fórum a 33 seconds clip from "Heart of Gold", a Duran cover of the Neil Young song. I loved what I heard. Since then i´ve searched all over the web for the complete song but I couldn´t find it. Anyone knows where I can find the entire version? Thanks.

That will be difficult. If I remember correctly the song featured on an advance promo cassette for internal record company use. That tape was auctioned on ebay prior to the snippet of the song appearing on youtube. I don't think that many cassettes were made so it will be extremely hard to find. Unless the person who posted the snippet is willing to share the whole song of course...

duranduranboard.proboards.com/thread/32025/heart-goldHi Katy, This question is in my mind for some time now. Probably, someone of the band remembers and has an answer. Well, we all know that some cover-songs that Duran Duran recorded didn’t make it on the album THANK YOU. Really would like to know if these titles (which I’ve heard of) can be confirmed and on which stage (demo or finished) they had been dropped: “Heart Of Gold” (Neil Young) – “This one was pretty much completed, though not mixed. It has a decent vocal and a well developed backing track. It didn’t seem to fit in with the other tracks we had and there was also a simple version of “Needle and the Damage Done,” so we did not want to pursue two Neil Young tracks.” “Jeepster” (T.Rex) – “We liked the idea of a T-Rex song and played around with “Jeepster,” but didn’t find the right vibe,so there isn’t even a version with a vocal. Not sure that we kept anything at all, it was dropped within hours, once we realised it wasn’t working.” “We Are The Dead” and “Rebel Rebel” (David Bowie) – “There is a very sparse backing track for “We Are The Dead” in existence, but no vocals. Warren really liked the idea and actually, in hindsight, it may have been a better choice than “Diamond Dogs.” We never recorded a studio version of “Rebel Rebel,” but we did play it in our live show fairly regularly during one of the tours. And I also read on the John Jones website ( johnjones.com/duran/DD1.html ) that they did an Alice Cooper song, which makes me really really curious which song that could have been. “We thought we could do an interesting version of the Alice Cooper song “Elected.” Nick created a basic backing track, but we never really got around to trying out vocals. It probably still exists in the vaults, but it was only ever a skeleton.” -The Band Question from Ansgar

The member who posted that youtube clip was kind enough to send me the full length track, but unfortunately, the mp3 was corrupt and it ended up sounding like a sped-up, Chipmunks rendition of the song. I haven't been able to get in touch with him since.
