Hi Katy, Any chance EMI want to comment on the controversy surrounding the recent re-issues? Thanks, Kyle

From EMI:

"It has come to our attention that some fans have suggested that the mastering on the recently reissued editions of 'Duran Duran' and 'Seven And The Ragged Tiger' is incorrect. Mastering is always subjective, and we acknowledge that the mastering on these versions is different to that of previous remasters, however that does not necessarily make it wrong. We have received both positive and negative comments about the mastering which is usual for any project - although those that don't like the sound of these new records are by far in the minority. We will always take on board constructive criticism and act upon it, where we believe it appropriate, and we respect the opinions of the fans. However, in this case there have been some personal comments about the mastering engineer that were highly offensive, wholly inappropriate and unjustified.

There is a glitch due to tape deterioration in the camera clicks at the very start of Girls On Film on the Duran Duran album. Whilst this glitch is not ideal, as it is in the camera clicks and not within the main body of the music, there are no plans to replace any discs."
