ARCADIA So Red The Rose (2010 issue UK Collectors Edition 3-disc set - Just after Duran Duran's popularity peaked in late 1984 and early 1985, Arcadia formed, comprising of three Duran Duran members: Simon LeBon, Nick Rhodes & Roger Taylor. Originally released in December 1985, All Music Guide describes 'So Red The Rose' as 'the best album Duran never made', and features contributions by a plethora of acclaimed artists such as David Gilmour, Sting[backing vocalist on 'The Promise'], Herbie Hancock & Grace Jones [whose spoken word can be heard on 'The Flame' & 'Election Day'].
This deluxe edition comprises the 9-track original album expanded with 7 Bonus Recordings, plus a Bonus CD featuring 12 rare recordings and a Bonus All Region NTSC DVD which follows the filming of five music videos from the album 'So Red The Rose' and the interesting combination of directors, locations, behind the scene footage & photographic montages come together to give a fascinating insight into the world of video production. The collection of videos including Arcadia's first single 'Election Day' are shown in full, including Dean Chamberlain's rarely seen interpretation of the song 'Missing').
The lone album from Arcadia — the mid-’80s, studio-only Duran Duran spinoff that scored a Top 10 hit with “Election Day” — will be reissued early next year in an expanded 2CD/1DVD package featuring 19 bonus tracks and all of the short-lived group’s music videos.
Due out Feb. 8 in the UK, the new edition of 1985′s So Red the Rose features the original nine-track album plus seven bonus cuts on the first CD, including remixes and B-sides from the album’s four singles, plus the non-album single “Say the Word” from the soundtrack to the long-forgotten 1986 comedy “Playing for Keeps.” UPDATE 1/6/10: Release date push back to April.
A second CD features 12 more remixes, while the accompanying 10-track DVD features the music videos for “Election Day,” “The Promise,” “Goodbye is Forever,” “The Flame” and “Missing,” plus making-of vignettes for each clip. (See full tracklist below).
Arcadia, like Power Station, splintered off from Duran Duran at the height of that band’s popularity, with Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor recording So Red the Rose. The trio received all-star assistance on the record, which features guest turns by the likes of Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, Sting, Grace Jones and Herbie Hancock.
By 1986, despite the success of both Arcadia and Power Station, the core of Duran Duran — Le Bon, Rhodes and John Taylor, who had joined Andy Taylor in Power Station — reformed to record Notorious.
Personnel: Roger Taylor, Nick Rhodes, Simon Le Bon.
Additional personnel: Carlos Alomar, Gabriel Bindi, Pierre DeFay, Jean-Claude Dubois, Mark Egan, David Gilmour, Herbie Hancock, Grace Jones, Steve Jordan, Rafael DeJesus, Andy MacKay, Sting, Masami Tsuchiya, David Van Tieghem.
