Description
Duran Duran, iconic figures of 1980s New Romanticism, return with a 2LP reissue of the masterpiece that marked their 1990s comeback, featuring a collection of lavish covers.
Duran Duran's 1995 album Thank You is reissued on 140g 2LP. This album features covers of songs by artists the band admired, showcasing their range across synth-pop, rock, and funk as leading figures of the New Romantic movement in the 1980s.
This album includes songs written by Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Lou Reed, and Elvis Costello, among others. Reimagined with Duran Duran's signature sophisticated pop sensibilities and sleek sound, the album combines respect for the original songs with the band's distinctive style. It was a popular release that reached the top 20 of the UK and US album charts.
The original edition was squeezed onto a single LP, and the lack of vinyl reissues for many years has driven up prices on the secondhand market. This reissue is presented on 140g 2LPs, providing a more spacious format. It also features a gatefold sleeve and fold-out poster, recreating the original edition's presentation. A welcome addition for collectors.

“Duran Duran” aka “The Wedding Album” released in 1993 was a return to form for the band, charting in the top10 on both the UK and US album charts and spawning the world-wide hit’s ‘Ordinary World’ and ‘Come Undone’
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.
Originally squeezed onto 1LP, both albums are highly sought after as neither have been re-pressed on vinyl since their original release. They are now spread across 140g 2LPs for the best sound. CDs will now be in paper sleeves as opposed to jewel cases.
“The Wedding Album” has a newly embossed sleeve and includes a 12” art card, and “Thank You” features a gatefold sleeve with a fold out poster replicating the original release.
