Out of Their Mind and Onto Your Stereo: Duran Duran’s ‘Medazzaland’ Finally Gets Worldwide Release

August 29, 2022 by Mike Duquette | 2 Comments

A Duran Duran album not coming out in England sounds like some sort of wacky mistake – but in 1997, it was a hard truth for one of the country’s most enduring pop/rock acts. Now, 25 years later and on the eve of their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, that record is finally corrected with a worldwide, physical reissue of the group’s misunderstood Medazzaland on October 14. The ’90s found Duran in some of the most whiplash-inducing scenarios of their career. They started the decade with 1990’s Liberty, their first…

August 19, 2022 by Mike Duquette | 4 Comments

Today, BMG – the label that currently distributes their new material – will bring four of the group’s albums back into print, along with one intriguing and rare side project effort. The first four Duran albums of the new…
