About this episode

This episode celebrates Duran Duran's 1993 self-titled album with insights from guest Tessa Niles and discussions on the band's legacy.

To celebrate Duran Duran's 1993 self-titled album (more affectionally known as The Wedding Album) being repressed on vinyl for the first time since its original release, we're sharing this episode first released on Patreon three years ago. And as an extra special treat we hear from the legendary Tessa Niles who shares her memories of recording Come Undone with the band. Elsewhere we discuss Ordinary World and the incredible impact the song had on the band's legacy, and discuss some other singles that could have been. It would be remiss of us to not mention there are still 70+ episodes on Patreon that aren't available elsewhere, including Duran Duran's Big Thing.
