Album Notes
This release varies slightly from the LP version, with some tracks slightly remixed or re-edited. According to Capitol, this is the version that Duran Duran likes best.The artistic progression from the band's self-titled debut to the following year's RIO was the greatest aesthetic leap of Duran Duran's career. The group moved from catchy but somewhat rudimentary New Romantic synth-funk to elegantly arranged, sophisticated pop-rock, concentrating more on song structure than dance beats. For their efforts, they were rewarded with superstar status, due chiefly to "Hungry Like the Wolf," a lascivious tune that injects a welcome dose of rock & roll guitar. The most impressive tracks on RIO, though, are the more contemplative, balladic offerings, like "Lonely in Your Nightmare," "Save a Prayer," and especially "The Chauffer," with its stream-of-consciousness lyrics and unconventional structure, arty without seeming pretentious. If you only have one Duran Duran album, it should be RIO.

Rio, which suprisingly only reached No. 2 in the UK album chart in 1982 has been remastered with 3 bonus videos included and some slight re-arrangement (Although not complete re-mixes).
This is possibly Duran Duran's greatest work, every track is strong and made them huge stars. They've made nine studio albums, three greatest hits, and one live album, many of them came close, but nothing topped this.
