Hey, My apologies! I didn't want to let you think i only credited Pierre! I know it is a mutual thing. It was more like he uploaded the image that made me mention his name. Not to spend too many words on this to distract from the genius project. It looks stunning and i can't wait for the next update guys! ;-) No problem at all Peter - after a bit of sleep then that makes sense.
Yeah, i didn't see it as a personal slight; just inaccurate.
Tim your ideas, input and critical feedback are invaluable and makes the project better and better every time we update Oh, obviously between us we know that we're both directly involved with effectively everything - it just caught me at an odd moment, & i didn't want either of our inputs to any part of the project to be underplayed.
Okay, obviously we both practically do the primary work on complimentary elements as it'd be impossible to do otherwise, but (beyond the scans that Peter's done & the feedback/info/sounding board elements that Peter, Derek & others have given of course) the credit for every good, bad & indifferent bit of the project is always 50:50; as it's both of us that have made every part of every page what it is...
...& so i guess the point earlier was just about reaffirming publically that neither of us have more or less ownership of any part of it than the other.

A new chapter for june 1985 was finished today by Tim and myself...get your guns out and ready and check it out. We would love to hear what you all think The reason we only upload this new chapter is that we are in the middle of revisions for all the former parts and we had to wait until Tim won a lot on ebay which contained a great item that we really wanted to add to the project. So we will upload the full revised PDF in a few weeks time containing more items and new scans. In the mean time enjoy this latest new chapter. Download link for the new june 1985 chapter (highres PDF)we.tl/ggc0YmNK7B (expires august 24) Or check it on our facebook page www.facebook.com/DuranDuranClubArchive8189/

Yeah, seeing a complete copy of the form, plus another item i found in my archives & some additional research has altered the timing of lots of the 81 stuff... ...& there's been some replacement scans for items i'm missing from Peter of course. Oh, & we're now >99% sure which badge was sold via the b/w merch sheet by seeing the whole thing; as, whilst we were certain of one that was sold on the FTL tour, the "badges" bit on the incomplete version of the form left it all really uncertain - info about which will be in the next full version of course. So yeah, it's stuff like this which is why i've been strongly recommending not printing anything until there's a finished version.

Great addition, I particulary liked the report on the video shoot. Didn't know that they wanted to release the Arcadia album in the summer. It really is a good news show isn't it ? Didn't know that Andy went in the studio to listen to the Arcadia album. Thanks for this update !

Always looking forward for updates and additions on this project!
Fantastic stuff - I am loving the 1984/85 time-period, since this is when I became a fan!
Please keep it up!

Well, naturally there was also the 'new single in July' in Nick's May 84 welcome letter... ...& the 'single & album in the works' in Roger's bit of the Newsletter from the same time... ...however, stepping away from the FC, it goes back to at least the tail end of 82.
As an example of previous planned stuff within my archives, along with a new album for the autumn of 83 & a TV & cinema release of the Hammersmith show (i'm not sure if the cinema showings in Japan on the 30th of April & 7th of May were of this or the Video Album), part of the plans in progress for 83 included -
(a) What ended up being The Video Album, was called "The Union Of The Snake" - with it being a mix of the videos, animation, behind the scenes footage & documentary... ...with extra footage already having been shot for 'an unwritten song'.
(whilst said to be 'unwritten', overall this strongly suggests that there was at least a working demo for UOTS by late 82 & that if things had gone to plan this would have been released as a standalone single, instead of itsisk?, in March 83)
(b) & they were a reasonable way into the writing of a screenplay for a band film, which Nick described as "like Spielberg meets Polanski in 'Help'".
(i can't say for certain that this became Arena, but Russell Mulcahy wasn't attached to the project at the time)
Otherwise it's really easy to forget that, whilst there were tensions, esp with the management, & stuff obviously ended up falling apart, there were a set of points in 85/6 that things were on pretty good terms - with Andy going to the studio (as mentioned) / the October(?) press conference (sans Roger) with Culture Club for the Christmas pay for view concert / the band (sans John) going to Simon's wedding / Nick & Andy working on stuff in Jan 86 / Andy jovially trying to ring Simon on the 31st of May (US time) / etc...

I have somehow managed to miss every single upload in this thread, as for a long while I was only sporadically checking in and every single time was after each previous upload link in this thread had expired, so I am in agony waiting to see what sounds like a tremendous undertaking unfolding.
Any news on when a new update might be uploaded?

Well, Pierre's had no free time at all to work on it over the last few weeks, & won't until next weekend at the earliest - & there's shed loads of additions, corrections & updated images & consistency stuff to sort within the previous parts.
(i've been using the downtime productively so hopefully the next version will be as correct as it's going to get for 81-mid-86 - just adding any updated scans we get & any additional articles that turn up)
Oh, & whilst we've got some overall ideas mapped out, we're also not sure what to use as a band image for the late 85-mid 86 section - which is the next one to do - as the last time they were all pictured together was, from recollection, August 85.
Well, Roger wasn't at the press conference with Culture Club & John wasn't at Simon's wedding &... ...& there seem to be no images of Nick, John & Simon together from The Flame video shoot as an alt starting point for an idea... ...&...
i'm sure we'll think of something though.
