I like the ghost vinyl the best. The brown looks more like a tree stump. The red blob? I mean, what? They could have had anything, but why a red blob?? No I don't think it is an image of Mars. As for the album, I've been thinking they might 'reimagine' their DD songs in this same style as the DM song. So hard dirty rock, but also maybe rather slower and dancey. As this is meant to be a themed album, I can only guess at this point that if all the songs sound half as good as DM, we might be in for something great? At the same time, I know standards never live up to the hype train, especially as it's DD we are talking about here, but I am more excited than ever. Got an email today from Townsend, which seems like they have all the merch in stock, and maybe they are the official distributor?? Anyway, I pre-ordered it from there today. Nothing fancy, I haven't used a turn table for 20 years, so I wont be buying them. duranduran.tmstor.es/Yes, TM are the official UK stockist.

Well, I’m pleased that I secured my signed print with what is now confirmed as the ‘smog’ vinyl. Which I couldn’t care what it is to be honest. I’ve now also ordered the galaxy edition from Townsend as it looks cooler. Not bothering with CD or cassette as they wouldn’t get played. CD’s are dying folks! 😉 Would have been polite for Andy and Warren to have signed it too! Especially when there’s no image of the band on the cover.
Also went for a T shirt.

I’ve passed on the merch(not my thing) I’ve ordered the black, galaxy and smog vinyl, cd, cassette and the Spotify vinyl. When I mentioned to the Mrs that this was being released all she said was “ How many versions this time?” Bless her 🥳🥳

When I mentioned to the Mrs that this was being released all she said was “ How many versions this time?” Bless her 🥳🥳 Lol!! I have downsized my collection enormously. I got very poorly, unable to work and took a break from here. It’s a story not to be aired here. Important thing is that I am alive. I’m now concentrating on collecting album vinyl 1st pressings from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. I have a gigantic collection of T’s from many artists and T shirts are all I wear. So it suits me. I recently ordered the Soft Cell box set of Erotic Cabaret and there’s 2 shirts included. One is the album cover and the other says in big letters ‘Look, it’s so huge!’ I love it! I doubt my partner will want to walk alongside me with me wearing it. So I do sympathise with you 😉😂

I don't know if you read the official press release by the band, but they are treating the project as DD16. I like that they are treating the album as a legitimate LP and not just something else between albums. duranduran.com/2023/71443/

I think it was JT who said a few months ago that this was not going to be a proper release. Maybe after all the big collabs they changed their minds.

Funny....I got to thinking about the Japanese CD as well for this album. Had a look on Japan site for Amazon and nothing as of yet. They did good with the release of Future Past (bonus tracks AND a print), so hopefully this album will have a least a bonus track...that is if the band decided to do more covers than the ones that made the album.

They did. We already know of songs that were recorded for this project but aren't included in the tracklisting so far.
