{"product_id":"greatest-3","title":"Greatest","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGreatest\u003c\/i\u003e is an update of the 1989 tenth anniversary compilation album, \u003ci\u003eDecade\u003c\/i\u003e. The new release includes songs from their eponymous debut album through 1997's \u003ci\u003eMedazzaland\u003c\/i\u003e (excluding 1995's \u003ci\u003eThank You\u003c\/i\u003e). The album includes all 14 songs featured in \u003ci\u003eDecade\u003c\/i\u003e, plus \"New Moon on Monday\" and four singles from the '90s. However, several songs on the disc are presented in their edited forms in order to fit on a single CD. In addition, the disc uses an edit of \"Rio\" that was not actually used on any of the song's US single releases, and to this day, has not appeared on any release other than \u003ci\u003eGreatest\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eThe Essential Collection.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album was released by EMI after parting ways with the band following the disastrous \u003ci\u003eMedazzaland\u003c\/i\u003e album release in 1997, marking the first of many releases designed to capitalise on the band's extensive EMI-controlled back catalogue. To coincide with the release of the \u003ci\u003eGreatest\u003c\/i\u003e album in the United Kingdom, the song \"Electric Barbarella\" was released as a single in that territory. This track was originally released as a single in North America in 1997 to promote the \u003ci\u003eMedazzaland\u003c\/i\u003e album (which was never released officially in Europe until 2022).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 2008, the collection had sold 1.3 million copies in the United States, and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.[6] The collection is the band's most commercially successful release overall, but to date, a full collection of Duran Duran's singles on one album still has not been released.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parlophone","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50453273117003,"sku":"2215946","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Greatest_9470b3d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727170383","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/greatest-3","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
