It is so hard to choose. I have to nominate two:
1. My copy of Carnival, which I bought at a record store in the late 80s. It was probably the very first Duran Duran vinyl purchase that I made with my own money. It was the first Duran Duran vinyl I had seen that wasn't a standard issue record and it made me feel incredibly special at the time. I still have it and it's in excellent condition. 2. A signed copy of Interference. I got the book on eBay in the late 90s (for a decent price at the time) and Nick signed it in person at a M&G in 2000. He drew a little picture of a TV on the inside cover.

Arcadia El Diablo Spanish promo single in excellent condition runner up #1: Arcadia So Red The Rose Japanese OBI w/ poster insert... most beautiful packaging ever? runner up #2: Arcadia The Open Interview w/ cue sheet Hey all! We all have our most prized D2 item...and was hoping everyone might want to post what theirs is. Maybe it's a one-of-a-kind item? Or, maybe it isn't super rare, but might have special significance to you? Think to keep things tidy, maybe we're only allowed to post one item? (I could post many...but I'm looking for The Most Prized!) Here's mine to start: 'Keep Me in the Dark' (Philippine 7" test pressing) ...what's yours? do you have duran duran items, and not from arcadia. later -1

Yeah, that is one really amazing item. I think you posted it a few years ago somewhere...and I've secretly coveted it since! damn that 1st lp had some great art direction, didn't it? I have seen a misprint copy of Careless Memories without the black layer too... see image (Not in my collection sadly!) So cool! Two completely different misprints...it would appear that those in charge of sleeve printing (or at least vetting what made it out the door to market) for that second Duran single were in fact somewhat careless!

I love this thread! After some hard thinking I am going with the Uruguay pressing of Rio in the blue sleeve: View AttachmentBut already as I post this I am thinking of Arcadia’s El Diablo promo 7”, the Colombian green vinyl 12” promo of Girls On Film, the Italian Lay Lady Lay 12”, A View To A Kill 7” from Uruguay…etc. Absolutely beautiful!

I have a personal recording of Nick for my answering machine. "This is Nick Rhodes. Todd's not home right now, leave him a message please. He's a really nice fellow". Somewhere I have a MP3 of John saying “f___ing hell.” He was leaving a voicemail for me with a Christmas message for the radio station and messed up. I will have to find that one!

Although I sold the majority of my uber-rare D2 items a few years ago, I still kept a lot of it. My prized D2 item is this: the US cassette for the 1st lp, on the Harvest label. This is the thing that first got me into the band. It was my uncle's - who was my hero. He introduced me to Duran Duran. He put the tape into the tape player of his Datsun 260zx...Planet Earth (Night Version) began to play...and a whole new world of music opened before my eyes right there.
