Careless Memories...

Some more greatest hits releases are on the way, along with the one from Hazell Dean I previously posted about.

A new compilation from Duran Duran comes out on September 10th - it is priced less then 6 pounds and looks like a pretty good package if you are after most of their essential songs from the 80s.

Duran Duran were one of the world s biggest bands during the 1980s and their stature still warrants unprecedented demand and coverage, as seen by their appearance at the sold-out BT London Live Opening Ceremony Celebration Concert, at London s Hyde Park in July 2012.

This 2CD collection focuses on the period 1981-1990 and features some key album tracks, alongside 20 Top 40 hits, twelve Top 10 hits including the Bond Theme A View To A Kill and their two UK #1s.

(still need to get the one from Sheena Easton).
