Disc one of Duran Duran (Ltd. Special Edition) includes the digitally remastered original album plus four single B-sides. Disc two is packed with previously unreleased material, including versions of the Air Studios recordings of "Girls On Film" and "Tel Aviv," plus Manchester Square demos, a BBC Radio 1 Peter Powell session from 1981, and different mixes of the album's singles. The DVD features the singles' music videos, plus previously unreleased TV performance clips from U.K. shows "Top Of The Pops," "Old Grey Whistle Test," "Get Set For Summer," and "Multi-Coloured Swap Shop."

The band's third album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger, was released in November 1983, reaching #1 on the chart and achieving platinum sales in the U.K. within a matter of weeks. It peaked at #8 in the U.S., where it also quickly reached platinum sales status and went on to double-platinum certification. The album spawned Duran Duran's first Billboard Hot 100 #1 single in the U.S. (and second #1 single in the U.K.), "The Reflex."

Seven and the Ragged Tiger (Ltd. Special Edition) includes the digitally remastered original album on disc one, and non-album singles, B-sides, and four 12" mixes on disc two. The expanded release also includes, for the first time on DVD, As The Lights Go Down, a film conceived by Duran Duran and Russell Mulcahy, as well as the acclaimed music videos for the album's singles and two "Top Of The Pops" performances.

1983 was a banner year for Duran Duran. The band earned two 1983 Grammy Awards for their innovative and influential music videos, including Best Video Album for their self-titled video collection and Best Music Video (Short Form) for "Girls On Film"/"Hungry Like The Wolf." For a year and a half, the band toured to sold-out stadiums around the world.

Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor formed Arcadia during a group hiatus and, in 1985, released one album, So Red The Rose. The album features the U.S. and U.K. Top 10 hit, "Election Day" and guest musicians including David Gilmour, Herbie Hancock, Grace Jones and Sting. Capitol/EMI has released an expanded, digitally remastered 2CD/DVD Limited Special Edition of So Red The Rose, adding six bonus tracks to the album's original tracklist, plus a full second disc of 11 rare mixes and "The Making of Arcadia," making its DVD release debut.

"The Making of Arcadia" was originally released on VHS in 1987. It follows the filming of five videos from So Red The Rose, and the combination of directors, locations, behind-the-scenes footage and photographic montages come together to give an insight into the world of video production. Among the collection's videos are "Election Day" and Dean Chamberlain's rarely seen interpretation of the song "Missing."
