NEW RELEASE : Arcadia Re-issue

Just after the peak of Duran Duran's popularity, the three core members Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes and John Taylor formed Arcadia, sadly Arcadia only ever released one album, "So Red The Rose", but what an album, some say it was "the best album Duran never made", featuring collaborations with the likes of David Gilmour, Grace Jones, Herbie Hancock and Sting.

The album was originally released in 1985, the re-issue is set for release from the 12th April 2010.

The 3 disc collectors set will feature the original album, that will include 7 bonus tracks, plus a bonus disc of rare recordings including many hard to find 12" mixes, and to top the set off a DVD, which follows the filming of five music videos from the album and the interesting combination of directors, locations, behind the scene footage & photographic montages.
