Duran Duran -《Arena》Bonus Tracks Limited Edition[APE]

此辑为1984年正值巅峰的Duran Duran，在3张录音室作品后，首度推出的现场专辑，辑中除了有‘Hungry Like The Wolf’、‘Save a Prayer’、‘Is There Something I Should Know?’等冠亚军单曲，以及‘Union Of The Snake’‘Careless Memories’、成名代表作‘Planet Earth’等排行畅销曲外，还率先独家收录英美两地双料亚军曲‘The Wild Boys’（当时并未收录在任何专辑内），因此在极短时间内便突破2百万张专辑销售。当然除了现场感的魅力外，身为当红炸子鸡的Duran Duran，更充分利用华丽的舞台灯光效果加上当时兴起的音乐录影带陪衬，使得他们的巡回演唱活动，立即在大型萤幕的声光效果下，呈现浩大声势，连贯着世界各地销售量长红，为他们在80年代第一个成功的经历阶段，划下美丽的句点。

Seeing Duran Duran in concert in 1984 was like seeing a video come to life. The group put on a spectacular show filled with impressive light shows and videos. Since the concerts featured so many visuals, the band could not vary the tempos greatly, resulting in music that nearly replicated the studio versions of the songs. Arena accurately reproduces the sound and feeling of these concerts. Duran Duran sounds tight and professional (probably due to studio overdubbing), yet Simon Lebon sounds a little winded, possibly because of all the dancing he had to do during the course of the show. The new Nile Rodgers-produced single "The Wild Boys" was added to the album as bait and the strategy worked: peaking at number four, Arena was Duran Duran's highest-charting album and it sold over two million copies. Nevertheless, it's the most inconsequential album in their entire catalog, even if it's fun. [The 2004 remastered reissue of the record contains two bonus tracks, "Girls on Film" and "Rio." The band had originally wanted both songs on the album but had to cut them due to time constraints.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
