Description: A very rare opportunity to own a vinyl copy of Duran Duran’s debut album hand signed by Simon Le Bon, Roger Taylor, John Taylor, Andy Taylor, Nick Rhodes and designer Malcolm Garrett. Emerging as members of the New Romantic scene, Duran Duran were innovators of the music video and a leading band in the MTV-driven Second British Invasion of the US in the 1980s. By 1984, the band had achieved levels of fame similar to Beatlemania.The band's first major hit was "Girls on Film" (1981), from their self-titled debut album, the popularity of which was enhanced by a controversial music video. The band's breakthrough second album was Rio (1982), a worldwide hit. The songs "Hungry Like the Wolf" and "Rio" featured cinematic music videos directed by Australian film maker Russell Mulcahy and became two of their biggest hits. Their third album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, became their only UK number one album and featured the US and UK number one single "The Reflex". In 1985, the band topped the US charts with the single "A View to a Kill" from the soundtrack of the James Bond film of the same title. Influenced by artists such as David Bowie, the Human League, Japan and Chic, Duran Duran’s self titled debut album features a mixture of synthesiser-led pop tunes and more atmospheric tracks, with elements of disco, punk and dance. Le Bon's cryptic lyrics cover topics from youthful torment and confusion to the band's goals and ambitions. The cover artwork for the album and singles were designed by Malcolm Garrett. Sleeve is in very good condition and although untested, the vinyl does have some light surface marks which may or may not affect play. As I can’t guarantee good playability, you may wish to primarily consider this as an autographed item.
