What was the name of Duran Duran's first album? <input name="competition_posted" value="1" type="hidden">
Duran Duran




Well, that was a bit messy, but you get the message!

To celebrate the rebirth of Duran Duran as a touring band, the band’s original design team of Malcolm Garrett and Kasper de Graaf assembled Duran Duran Unseen, a hardback book of outstanding and mostly unpublished photographs of the band themselves and the Birmingham music, fashion and club scene from which they sprang. All the photographs were taken by Birmingham photographer Paul Edmond in 1980 and 1981, during the period when Duran Duran first sprang to fame with the release of their debut single, ‘Planet Earth’, in March 1981.

Besides Duran Duran, Paul Edmond was friendly with all the leading exponents of the Birmingham style explosion: Patti Belle and Jane Kahn, (whose label Kahn & Belle typified post-punk glam style), Jon Mulligan, lead singer of the band Fashion, and Jane Farrimond and Martin Degville, who created the fashion label Ya Ya – and who later became famous as members of the band Sigue Sigue Sputnik. The result is a scintillating pictorial record of the heyday of the New Romantic movement, captured through the lives of many of its key players.

Kasper DeGraaf wrote the first national magazine articles about Duran Duran, and worked with them for the next five years. Malcolm Garrett designed all of Duran Duran’s record sleeves, posters and merchandise – and is also the designer of this book.

G'luck! :D
