When Duran Duran don't release something, they're right not too? I'm not even sure how to respond to that but quite a statement! Pure bollocks mind you. Well 1) all of those "we wrote enough for three albums" rejects from Liberty that have turned up on the internet are dull as ditchwater, and 2) it was a wise choice not to release Beautiful Colours because, great as the groove may be, the lyrics are weak. Simon said so and he is right. I credit Sony with some ability to judge wheat from chaff and I daresay that they called the decision on the unreleased Reportage correctly .... I've got hold of a much better sounding version & gonna see what i can do with that when I have time. I openly admit that this sounds a bit shitty

Let's face it a few turds made it onto liberty as well!! There's always a few unreleased bits that will appeal to the hardcore fan base as you get sick of just hearing the album tracks and it's always those Duran sounds " ingredients" that hook me in, though maybe if I'm honest as complete songs they don't work for a mass audience.

I used to think Liberty was shit shit shit! Then I heard a real nice remastered version & started to really enjoy the album but there's many people who totally can't stand it & that made me think that it didn't get a very good chart position & was quite surprised that it peaked at number 8! My bezzie is a super hardcore fan (Duranorak) & in his world,he truly believes that everything Duran has recorded is amazing!

Here's a link you might find interesting www.officialcharts.com/artist/19319/duran-duran/[/quote] Au contraire Stu I love serious, my Antarctica and liberty...... I really struggle with read my lips can you deal with it and the version I had had yo bad azzizi, I'm not sure any remastering is going to help that unless it's all turned down LOL!! But I'll give it a go. I think what I miss on liberty is a richness of sound, it just sounds tinny esp the synths. (Not bashing Nick before his defenders leap up, I think it's just what was going on musically at the time), and you can hear funk elements that were further developed on wedding album which is cool. The Duran albums are a journey, not wholly perfect but little jewels every time.

I've got hold of a much better sounding version & gonna see what i can do with that when I have time. I openly admit that this sounds a bit shitty If you're referring to TV vs Radio then hell yes get some time man and upload that bad boy! I will forever be in your debt, well kind of, well maybe not, just find the God damn time!

I credit Sony with some ability to judge wheat from chaff and I daresay that they called the decision on the unreleased Reportage correctly .... Quite a prediction, can't argue with pure speculation or pure bollocks either.
