comment |
Duran Duran is the seventh studio album—their second Self-Titled Album—recorded by the British New Wave band of the same name. It was released through Parlophone Records on 11 February 1993.It is best known by fans as The Wedding Album, with its cover featuring wedding photos from the parents of the four band members. However, the alternate title actually came from two UK promotional cassettes prior to the official release, one titled The Wedding and the other The Wedding Album. The wedding-related titles were dropped before release. The album was a major comeback for the band following the relative disappointments Big Thing (1988) and Liberty (1990) and spun off the international top 10 hits "Ordinary World" and "Come Undone".For the album by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, see Wedding Album (1969). |

Changed for the Video: The video for "Ordinary World" uses the shorter radio version of the song instead of the album version, removing the intro and mashing two instrumental bridge sections together. |

Amoral Attorney: "To Whom It May Concern" is a song written in response to the manipulation the band had encountered from one of their attorneys. The character that they address is referred to as "Mr. Bones," and the lyrics for the song appear in the liner notes in the form of an official letter that was meant to be sent to the character. |

Shout-Out: "Too Much Information" mentions MTV and The BBC as the networks that they are "destroyed by", which is ironic in the case of MTV, since it's the network that helped make Duran Duran become very popular in the 1980s. |
