68. Why Duran Duran’s Skin Trade (1987) is Great!

HIDDEN PRIME CUTS POD: ‘Skin Trade‘ was Duran Duran’s first single not to go top 20 on both sides of the Atlantic since their early days. The band’s John Taylor has said his disillusionment with the charts started when this happened. It’s now a fan favourite. So, why was it not a bigger success?  Podcast hosts Stephen & Paul take a look back at the track, their history with it, extoll its virtues, and reminisce about seeing it performed live. And how did Simon LeBon reach those high notes? 🤔  Like the podcast?
