Okay...here goes..
I keep getting emails from DD Mgmt thinking I am the producer behind NPR Tiny desk--I reached out to Simon who really wants to do the show if time permits in May and no issues with the other concert dates...so I told DD Mgmt I am just the middle man and a Fan not mgmt nor producer of Tiny Desk..
I took their email and copied the producers and DD Mgmt and said look you all need to figure this out..I am not NPR!
So, while I was texting him..I asked him again about Reportage..he thanked me for being a fan and he said this:
Thanks for being a huge fan..much love from here...Regarding Reportage, hopefully we are working towards it and we are very very close to releasing it..
I asked him about Andy's parts and he said this:
Andy's part are done we just have a few things to clean up and fix here and there amongst ourselves...
I asked him that I would love to see Andy on Stage with them this year during European shows--he sent me back a heart and thumbs up. So, based on his health hopefully this happens? It should happen...
So, they are getting close to releasing Reportage--I think it will fall during the US elections unfortunately..October/November release once again just before Christmas when a ton of other artists release their stuff..which stinks as the sooner the better to chart better IMO.

Hmmm 🤔 the quote
“Andy's part are done we just have a few things to clean up and fix here and there amongst ourselves...”
Suggests AT is playing no further part aside from what he’s done & the amongst ‘ourselves bit’ = without Andy
Otherwise why wouldn’t they say “AT is helping us clean up / fix a few things etc etc”
That’s how the statement speaks to me anyway

Andre, thanks for the update from Simon. I can tell you Reportage is not near ready for release. I would venture to say it is certainly over 6 months off at a minimum. It might even go into 2025.
Once completed, it needs to be mixed and mastered. Artwork, schedules, pressings, etc. It is a long way off as things currently stand.
The band have other projects and touring, so while it is a relatively quiet time, there are plenty of other distractions. And I would see the Vegas Halloween show/album coming before Reportage. Just my view.....

Just my view..... I think less than a month. I think based on what Nick said and Simon just now. Andy's parts are done ..if they want to tweak them than maybe you are right... I think we see Reportage before Christmas 2024.. Look how fast they released Danse Macabre..from the time they announced till it dropped it was quick.. Halloween album is the DVD of Vegas show..shouldn't stop a new album from dropping..it's closer to being finished..I think with John being in London past few weeks ..I think they are already working on it hush hush kind of way is my personal opinion... As part of their deal with new record label BMG, Duran Duran hope to release Reportage. Rhodes told Classic Pop magazine in 2021: "It's in pretty decent shape overall, we'd need three weeks to finish it... I'd no objection if Andy [Taylor] wanted to do some tweaks.

This smells to me like they're going to treat Andy like a guest once again.
This time on a record that belongs to him as well as them. And if I'm right, it will be me and not Putin who will trigger a Third World War! 😡

"Andy's part are done we just have a few things to clean up and fix here and there amongst ourselves..."
So this will be a 2026 release date

I am hoping since it was filmed in better quality that saying a DVD of the show is just one option and not that you found information meaning it will be strictly released in DVD. Any insight? I know it's rare for 4K releases although not unheard of Peter Gabriel is putting back to front out in 4k. I really don't see why this is such a big deal to do something like that blu-ray's been out forever 4K has been out for at least a decade Plus I would hope the standard is finally Blu-ray and also 4K but at the bare minimum that we get Blu-ray it's just ridiculous DVD came out around 96 I hope they're not releasing things just on DVD that's just abysmal and inexcusable if that is really what happens. Especially for something filmed recently.
