DURAN DURAN - Carnival 12" EP Vinyl Record Album Nightclub Versions RIO

Duran Duran - Carnival - Dutch (Europe) Version - Vinyl, 12", 45 RPM, Compilation, Stereo, Paper Sleeve Compilation of remixes and extended versions, called Night Versions, taken from their 12 inch releases. Original release housed in a thin paper sleeve. As part of Capitol's shift in marketing strategy for Duran Duran to develop into a dance band over the course of 1982 (in a bid to shift more units of the Rio album), it was decided to release an EP of remixed tracks in various territories globally to capitalize on increased night-club play and to try to replicate that success on radio. Because Carnival was meant to capitalize on Duran Duran's burgeoning dance-oriented success, the track listing around the world differed from region to region. The Dutch EP, released in a white sleeve with photos taken from the Rio tour book, featured twelve-inch versions – or "Night Versions" in early Duran Duran parlance – lifted from four of the band's more popular singles – "Hungry Like The Wolf", "Rio", "Planet Earth" and "Girls on Film". A rare misprint of the Dutch sleeve is existing, stating "Hold back the rain" to be included instead of "Planet Earth". The Night Version of "Girls on Film" is actually slightly different from the version that appeared on the EMI twelve-inch single, clocking in at just around 15 seconds longer. Also, the David Kershenbaum Night Version mix of "Rio" was commercially exclusive to this EP (it also featured on an American promo twelve-inch), as the "Rio" twelve-inch single featured "Rio (Pt II)" as the lead mix.
