these three are classic cd's put into a boxset. BUT you get not a extra track. This set should be avoided and the three discs bought seperately in the remaster versions. Buy duran duran, the music is five star, this boxset is lame though as the one star reviewer stated.

Very happy with this! It arrived quickly and in near-perfect condition, save for the fact that the Rio cd was the only one with a sleeve on [within its case]. I think, given the overall perfect condition of this product, that it was probably purchased that way. Rio gives me a hard time when it's loading, but it may be because it is an enhanced cd, the content of which I cannot see on my laptop, but I may on my desktop. The sound is perfection; crisp and clear as if it was 1982 and 1983, but better because I had tapes at that time! I'm a faithful Duranie (since 1982) and I'm SUPER-satisfied with this purchase, especially the price! Thank you! I didn't realize the white album would be the original, not the re-released one with Is There Something I Should Know on it, but, as a true Duranie, I should have noticed that the photo on the cover could have told me that! Seller sent well-cared-for product in very good, protective packaging. Again, great price. Buy from this seller!!!

Who is this clown rohitrao who just wants to waste his time praising old-fart druggie droning and going after bands in totally different genres? Cripes, get a life! And deal with the fact that Gilmore played with these lads for a reason...
Duran Duran's first three albums cover more ground than Pink Floyd ever WILL! PinkF wrote a few Excellent #'s but will always stay stuck in their rut. DD have covered more ground in their careers, much less these 3 albums, than most bands EVER will.. try to deny that, goofus! These 3 DD albums tested the boundaries of sound, and where a band could go, while striking a chord with the world consciousness(Pink Floyd were never compared to the Beatles..).
The first CD shows a band jumping up to proclaim itself with exceptional zeal, the second was perhaps their masterpiece in bravado, excitement and breadth, and the 3rd perhaps suffers from overproduction and silly topics. Personally though, I enjoyed the ambiguous lyrics as I always appreciate mystery and impressionism. Stretch your audiences imagination, you'll both grow from the experience. And, to top things off, the last two songs on Seven and the Ragged Tiger (Tiger Tiger and Seventh Stranger) encompass as much atmosphere and intrigue as a whole Pink Floyd excursion, in 1/6 of the time; and THAT is much more palatable and effective than hours and hours in a PF daze.
5 stars easily, as a collection.

I sent these three cd's to an old friend who was jonesing for some old D2. The first three albums in one place. What a find! durannies of the world unite!

If you are a diehard DD fan, this is right up your alley! It was well worth the money to give my son a gift of the band he still thinks walks on water!

I am a huge Durannie and always will be, but gone are the days when a band or record label can print a friggen number on a box of something we ALREADY OWN (on a dying format, no less) and re-re-resell it to me as a "Collectible".

Screw you, EMI. You got my dollars for these albums on vinyl, cassette, and cd (I even have Rio on 8-track still!!!). Ya gets no more o' my dough.
