Album Notes
This is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files, including the videos for "Rio," "Hungry Like The Wolf" and "Save A Prayer."

Additional personnel: Andy Hamilton (saxophone).
Recorded at Air, London, England in 1982. Includes liner notes by Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes.
Digitally remastered by Tony Cousins.
The artistic progression from the band's self-titled debut to the following year's RIO was the greatest aesthetic leap of Duran Duran's career. The group moved from catchy but somewhat rudimentary New Romantic synth-funk to elegantly arranged, sophisticated pop-rock, concentrating more on song structure than dance beats. For their efforts, they were rewarded with superstar status, due chiefly to "Hungry Like the Wolf," a lascivious tune that injects a welcome dose of rock & roll guitar. The most impressive tracks on RIO, though, are the more contemplative, balladic offerings, like "Lonely in Your Nightmare," "Save a Prayer," and especially "The Chauffer," with its stream-of-consciousness lyrics and unconventional structure, arty without seeming pretentious. If you only have one Duran Duran album, it should be RIO.

Editorial Reviews
Ranked #98 in Q's 100 Greatest British Albums - ...Defined early '80s aspirational glamour, comprising 9 trashily addictive tunes...
Q (06/01/2000)

Ranked #1 in CMJ's Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1982.

[T]he Durannies take new-romantic pop to the masses with lush, synth-driven choruses and lavish videos...
Spin

[T]he Taylors, drummer Roger and guitarist Andy, laid down an aggressively grooving foundation over which vocalist Simon LeBon and keyboardist Nick Rhodes dropped candy-coated bits of melody and insouciant jet-set attitude.
Magnet

5 stars out of 5 -- 1982's RIO was and remains one of the 80s' finest pop statements...
Record Collector

4 stars out of 5 -- Originally released in 1982, today both the Chic-inspired basslines and aspirational lyrics of RIO seem utterly contemporary...
Q

3 stars out of 5 -- Duran Duran gave some thought to their 12 singles...[and] -- the biggest achievement of all -- laying down mixes which don't sound embarrassing two decades later.
Record Collector

RIO isn't just front-loaded with some of the era's most bulldozing hits, it's still Duran's best shot at an artistic legacy.
