Arena

I love this, used to hear it played since it first released in my elder sister’s bedroom. Decided to buy it for myself.

Perfectly happy with this as a replacement for my poor old worn out cassettes! Happy times as a teen.

Been looking for this cd for ages.and it was worth the wait. Very happy with it.thank you.

Arena was recorded around the world in 1984. It was taken from the video album of the same name. This was the original Duran Duran in their pomp: Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes & the 3 Taylors. 10 tracks, 7 of them hit singles performed in front of full houses of screaming fans.They kick off with the number 1 "Is there something I should know?" & continue to give the fans what they want, i.e. the hits from the first 3 albums. They enjoy themselves. The 'hits' are augmented by 3 of the best, album tracks namely "New Religion", "the Seventh Stranger" & "the Chauffer", before closing with "Carless Memories".This album is the showcase for the original line-up when as young men they conquered the world. More of a 'best of live' than true live album, but the songs work without the videos!

Great cd took me right back to the 80s
