DURAN DURAN - THANK YOU

Following in 1995, “Thank You” was an album of covers featuring songs written by Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Lou Reed and Elvis Costello. The album charted in the top20 of both UK and US charts. CD will now be in paper sleeve as opposed to jewel cases.

"Thank You" was a daring detour where Duran Duran stepped back to pay homage to the pioneers who shaped their own musical DNA. By tackling a diverse range of influences - from the glam-rock of Lou Reed and David Bowie to the heavy riffs of Led Zeppelin and the revolutionary hip-hop of Grandmaster Flash - Duran Duran demonstrated an hitherto unseen versatility that few of their peers could match. While it was a bold experimental move at the time, the album has undergone a significant critical reappraisal in the years since. Famously championed by Lou Reed himself, who called their version of "Perfect Day" the finest cover of his work, the album is now celebrated as a fascinating, genre-bending snapshot of the band's artistic curiosity.
