There is indeed a Ken Scott version of POP TRASH. Whether there still is, I have no idea. It’s amazing how many tapes, even of big artists, have got lost over the years. I can’t pick one favourite track from POP TRASH. Because each of these is so different, my favourites are “Lady Xanax,” “Lava Lamp” and “The Sun Doesn’t Shine Forever.” I must emphasise that those choices are based on my mixes, certainly not the released ones. There IS a Ken Scott mix of most of the album that remains unreleased. What happened is that we got Ken on board because we wanted that authentic, beautifully recorded sound that we remembered from when we were kids. Ken was the ultimate guy to do that and he did such a good job that when we got to the end of the project, it sounded a bit too retro, so rather than sounding influenced by the 70’s, it sounded like it was recorded in the 70’s. We decided we needed to modernize it a little. Ken’s mixes are beautiful from what I remember, and have probably held up very well. I would be perfectly happy for people to hear them. Ken was an absolute joy to work with. www.duranduran.com/wordpress/2020/pop-trash-at-20/

"We decided we needed to modernize it a little." - typical Nick Years ago I read an interview with Ken Scott where he said he wasn't happy with the final shape of the released tracks...

No comments from Simon. Guess he doesn’t have the same fond memories of PT....

I loved that they did this retrospective. Will give Pop Trash another listen soon. Is it my imagination, or did the version of PTM in the video sound slightly different?

I just have to say... it is really confusing when someone starts a thread with a hodgepodge of quotes from different people, none of them credited, none of them even in quotation marks to let you know that the words you're reading are coming from-- wait for it-- someone else, not them. *rimshot*
No, seriously, though. You shouldn't do that.

You shouldn't do that. As I woke this morning, bleary eyed, reading the first 2 paragraphs, it made me think it was Ken Scott himself writing. It’s not the first time this has happened.

Dug out Pop Trash for first time in ages this morning. Forgotten how good it is. Definitely their best album in the post Liberty period until AYNIN. Pop Trash Movie is completely epic, should have been Bittersweet Symphony size hit, as similarities to The Verve are there.

First time you woke up bleary eyed or thought Kim Scott was writing himself? Sorry bout the lack of reference, is there now! All you need is.. «Ken’s mixes are beautiful from what I remember», Would he have written that about himself. ? Well sure if drugged like in the 70s
