defrogBy the time Duran Duran came on the scene, MTV was the new way to promote singles, and they were of the first bands to really leverage that and build a successful career on it.
I liked them a lot, and eventually had a copy of Rio, which to this day I consider to be their high-water mark, musically.
Before I got the album, though, I had the 45 of the title track. And the B-side got just as much play as the A-side to the point that I ended up learning how to play the guitar riff for it.
PRODUCTION NOTE: This is the actual B-side version of the song. The album version is slightly different (it's shorter, has a different intro and the guitars are mixed a little louder).
Also, the above version was ripped from an actual 45. So there’s a skip in it. This is how we listened to music in those days, children – with skips in it.
On the roam again,
This is dF
