British new wave trailblazers Duran Duran revisit a defining chapter of their 1990s catalogue with vinyl reissues of ‘The Wedding Album’ and Thank You. Both albums return as expanded 2LP black vinyl editions, marking their first pressings on vinyl since their original release runs. The reissues also arrive on CD, presented without bonus material.
Originally released in 1993, ‘The Wedding Album’ restored the band’s global chart presence with “Ordinary World” and “Come Undone.” The album reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 7 in the US, reaffirming Duran Duran’s international stature. Its unofficial title stems from the cover art featuring the wedding photos of the band members’ parents, an image that quickly became iconic.
Two years later, Thank You delivered an ambitious collection of covers, including interpretations of songs by Lou Reed, Melle Mel, Sly and the Family Stone, Public Enemy, The Doors, Led Zeppelin and Iggy Pop. UK Top 30 singles “Perfect Day” and “White Lines” continue to hold a firm place in the band’s legacy, with “White Lines” remaining a live favourite.
The new 2LP format gives both albums room to breathe, expanding their original single-LP configurations. ‘The Wedding Album’ comes housed in a newly embossed sleeve with a 12-inch art card, while Thank You is presented in a gatefold sleeve with a poster. These editions spotlight an era that reshaped the band’s trajectory and reaffirmed their lasting cultural presence.
