. Comprising 14 CDs, it was released by EMI 13 September 2004 and features the singles covering the era from Notorious to Thank You

Thank You (Duran Duran album)

Thank You is a covers album by Duran Duran released in April 1995, their follow-up to 1993's Duran Duran . It did well on the charts , but was received very negatively by critics...

.

This was the first time many of these tracks, including b-sides and alternate versions, appeared on CD.

While a few remixes were also absent from this collection, the most notable missing songs are four b-sides which appeared on various editions of the "Come Undone" single in 1993:

• "Falling Angel"
• "Time for Temptation"
• "Stop Dead"
• "To the Shore (remix)"

"To the Shore" originally appeared on the band's first album Duran Duran (1981), but due to the playing time limitations of vinyl records, when the album was reissued in 1983 the song was dropped in favour of the new single "Is There Something I Should Know?". The song remained unfamiliar to many who became fans only after their mainstream success in 1983 and after.
