The Crystal Ship (2LP) [VINYL]

Classic 1993 broadcast from Duran Duran! Includes 'Girls On Film', 'Ordinary World', 'Hungry Like The Wolf', 'Save A Prayer', 'Planet Earth', 'Rio' and more! In 1993, Duran Duran released a second self-titled record: this Duran Duran album is known as "The Wedding Album" to distinguish it from the 1981 debut. The release of this first "comeback" album was initially delayed, but listener demand for leaked single 'Ordinary World' forced it onto radio playlists months earlier than planned; it reached number 3 on the US chart and number 6 in the UK and won a prestigious Ivor Novello Award for song writing. Duran Duran's largest tour ever, which included stops in the Middle East, the then recently de-embargoed South Africa, South America, Israel, Thailand, and Indonesia. The band's nine shows in the aforementioned post-apartheid S.A. were something of a revelation. Performed between 10th and 24th April '93, and largely sold out within minutes of tickets being announced, Duran Duran's gig at the Momentum Arena in Pretoria, their final concert in the country, was their best of all. Recorded for live transmission on both TV and FM Radio, the full event is now available for the first time on vinyl with this new 2LP set.
