Duran Duran - Notorious

Fourth studio album reisssued on vinyl LP!

Featuring "Notorious," "Skin Trade," and "Meet El Presidente"!

Notorious signified a musical change for Duran in 1986. Produced by Nile Rodgers, it focuses on brassy numbers and Chic inspired dance rock. Over time, it has become a cult favorite of fans for the more mature compositions and sophisticated directions. It was the first album to feature the band as a trio with the departure of Roger and Andy Taylor. Andy Taylor would later be replaced by former Missing Persons guitarist Warren Curcurullo, who completed recording parts of the album in addition to Rodgers and session drummer Steve Ferrone.

Notorious peaked at No. 16 on the U.K. Album Charts and No. 12 on the Billboard 200. It has been certified platnium and sold more than 1 million copies worldwide. The album produced three singles including "Notorious," "Skin Trade," and "Meet El Presidente." Notorious was a worldwide success, as it reached No. 7 and No. 2 on the U.K. Singles Charts and the Billboard Hot 100, respectively.
