Overjoyed with this set, at long last a remix of A View to A Kill as well as all their other classic singles. Love Secret October, that is played to death. When A View to a Kill was released back in 1985, there was no 12 inche I've waited 18 years for this, overjoyed. Now lads lets have a dvd concert please.

Ah... Duran Duran... Floppy fringes, eyeliner, lippy and some of the best pop music of the 80's. I'm one of the screamers. I've loved them since 1981 and ordered the box set about 2 months before it's release date. But just because we screamed, didn't mean we were tone deaf. Almost a quarter of a century later, the original line up is back together and on the verge of what I hope will be a massive comeback. You can slag the "pretty boys on a boat" image, but songs like "Rio", "Girls on Film" and "The Reflex" have stood the test of time! "Girls on Film" is currently being covered by Girls Aloud. In 22 years time will we be praising a box set of their singles? Doubtful!It's not the fact that it makes up a comprehensive Greatest Hits package - There's Decade and Greatest for that - but that you get b-sides that so far were only on vinyl. Things like that matter to fangirls like me! It's wonderfully designed. Miniature replicas of the 7" and 12" picture sleeves and AVTAK comes in a gatefold which is just so cool! If you're a fan, you'll love this to add to your collection of CD singles. If you just have a casual liking for Duran, go treat yourself to "Greatest" and maybe you'll come back for more.

The other "review" I wrote was to provide the track listing over two months before the release of this title (which amazon did not have at the time, hence the people who DID find it useful). Stop wasting your time saying that I was not helpful with my "review" and get off your tuskas and buy the CDs already. :-PMost notable are the early B-sides: 'Late bar' (one of all-time favorite D2 songs, which I was thrilled to hear live last concert), 'Fame' (David Bowie cover), 'Faster than Light' (new Romantic indeed - obviously from the period of the first album as is..), 'Khanada' (with the sassy line "Don't mess with me, I've noting to lose"), 'Faith in this colour' (two versions - I never knew of the "alternate slow version"), 'Secret Oktober' (the party days are winding down), and the live cover of the classic 'Make me smile'. ...And don't forget, if you are a fan/completist, that the 7' version of 'May own way' (disco strings and all) and the 7' remix version of the song-that-should-have-been-a-single 'Hold back the rain' are also included.Run, don't walk Duranees: this is not a ploy to repackage easily found tracks. This set is "chock full 'o' goodness" and is sure to not disappoint - it only makes me all the earger for their return in 2004!!!!!!
