DURAN DURAN - Rio

Item Description

Vinyl,
LP Album Club Edition

Canadian Columbia House release. Has "version 3" of the album (Side A with Kershenbaum remixes, and "Night Version" of "Hungry Like The Wolf"). Has custom label design with track durations updated for version 3. This differs from the regular release, which dropped the custom label and used the standard yellow/green Harvest label by the time version 3 of the album came out. Another difference is the colour of the graphic element with the tracklisting and R I O on the back: here it is a light magenta/pink tone, whereas the regular releases have it as a pale lavender hue. Finally, the sleeve and labels have the Capitol logo where the regular retail release has the Harvest one.

There is no barcode on this edition, as with regular Canadian release. The "Q" on label and "Qu" in run-out area indicate this was pressed by Quality Records.
