Duran Duran‘s global smash hit second album ‘Rio‘ is to be revisited as part of a new Classic Albums DVD series this October.
Duran Duran have specially re-recorded the album’s key tracks; “Save A Prayer”, “The Chauffeur”, “New Religion”, “Hungry Like The Wolf” and the title track “Rio” live for the DVD — as well as personally telling the story behind the writing, recording and the aftermath of it’s success.
‘Classic Albums: Rio’ includes stacks of archive footage from the period as well as the newly filmed interviews with original band members Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Roger Taylor.
Other interviewees include director Russell Mulcahy, former manager Paul Berrow and Bob Geldof.
