Carnival Rio! gathers Duran Duran's Rio-era night versions and Carnival remixes onto a single LP, a Canadian import made for long nights on the dance floor.
First issued for Record Store Day in 2023, it marked the 40th anniversary of Rio, the 1982 album that turned the Birmingham band into international stars. Back then, Duran Duran were early masters of the extended 12-inch mix, stretching their songs into longer, club-ready versions that teased out every hook and rhythm.
"Rio (Night Version)" opens the set, lengthening the title track's sunlit rush and giving John Taylor's busy, melodic bass even more room to roam. "Hungry Like the Wolf (Night Version)" keeps its prowling energy but lets the synths and percussion stretch out in the extra space.
The Carnival remixes show a slightly different side of the band. "Hold Back the Rain (Carnival Remix)" builds into a seven-minute workout, and "My Own Way (Carnival Remix)" adds extra bounce to one of the album's most nervy, energetic songs.
It's a neat companion to the album proper, catching the band at the moment their style, swagger and pop instincts lined up perfectly. For anyone who already loves Rio, this is the extended conversation, and every track proves that more can definitely be more.
