Reviews:
''Notorious'' is the fourth album by Duran Duran. Released in November 1986, it peaked at #16 in the UK and #12 in the US. The singles "Notorious" and "Skin Trade" demonstrated a Duran Duran reaching for funk, heavy on bass and brass. The gap between previous efforts and the new one, however (one year removed from "A View To A Kill" and the Arcadia/Power Station projects, two years from Arena, three from Seven and the Ragged Tiger), was hard to handle for the greater part of the fan base, since the album left the well-worn path of the successful euro-dance-pop of earlier days. Many fans felt that the album seemed to lack the sparkle of the band's peak era (roughly 1982 to 1985).
In 2010, EMI are scheduled to release a raft of material surrounding the ''Notorious'' reissue. This includes a three disc boxset, a digital only EP, and a digital only live album. The boxset is set to include remixes, live tracks and the ''Working for the Skin Trade'' live video (for the first time on DVD). - Wikipedia
