This was the first vinyl album I bought as a kid! I've just bought myself a copy of this remastered version and am currently giving it a spin (you do that with CD's right?). It is still as good as it was the last time I listened to it (a long time ago!). Every track is a winner. No filler here not even the instrumental track eight! Track two is still my favourite.

As Duran Duran continued to bask in the glory from their previous release, Duran themselves went back to the studio to work on their 3rd album, Seven & The Ragged Tiger.
By this point however, problems within the band were coming to a head, this album is more "Pop" than their previous release, and Andy's guitar work was becoming less and less.
Still, Duran Duran managed to stick together for the forseeable future, a hugely successul world tour followed this album, a tour built around the success of the singles, namely "The Reflex" and "New Moon On Monday."
Duran even throw a rather quality instrumental track in this one, "Tiger Tiger" would rapidly become a fan favourite and the rather hanuting "The Seventh Stranger" is about the only guitar heavy track on the album.
Overall, "Seven & The Ragged Tiger is a quality pop record, deserving of it's place amongst the best of Duran's back catalogue, but is rather overlooked by it's bigger predecessor.

A wonderful step back in time and although this offering may not have aged quite as well as Rio, I would still class it as a masterpiece as so many of the tracks on this album are totally great. Of course, there's the chart hits: 'The Reflex',Union Of The Snake' & 'New Moon On Monday', but there are plenty of other gems, for example: 'Tiger Tiger' , which is an inspired instrumental that sounds almost exotic, 'I Take The Dice', which is a particularly great song, and probably my favourite on the album, and of course, there's "The Seventh Stranger, which is a great ballad-toned song and the album's closer. Truly a classic!

Seven and the ragged tiger is the best Duran Duran album ever to be produced. It was probably the best album released in 1983 and all of the songs on this album are magnificient. Read more
