Enjoy this first song and video from Joey’s new album that I co-produced in Canada and in London at Abbey Road Studios. Steve Sidwell wrote the brilliant arrangements and conducts the orchestra. I was standing fifteen feet away, in awe!

Over the past couple of weeks I have been overwhelmed remembering the time I spent working with Duran Duran (John, Nick, Simon, Warren & Sterling). Between 1988 and 1995 we recorded three albums together, starting with “Liberty” and ending with “Thank You”.

Today marks the 25th (Silver) Anniversary of the second L.P., the “Wedding Album”; no doubt our greatest achievement!

This week I answered some new questions about the Wedding Album for duranduran.rocks

Five years ago Duran Duran remembered the album. Here is my post from 2013 – It was 20 Years ago Today

With the Wedding Album turning 25 on Sunday the 11th, I wondered what I was doing on February 9, 1993. Apparently, that was the day I wrote and recorded Turning Me Inside Out!
Here is the un-official video, with the Wedding Album’s Steve Ferrone, and Leeza Hoffman, filmed at the old Griffith Park Zoo in 1998.

An enjoyable interview from January 1993 with Nick Rhodes and Simon LeBon, talking about the new Duran Duran album.

My song from 1995, that Dan Hill improved and recorded for his long lost; I’m Doing Fine album of 1996.

Produced, engineered, performed, and written by John Jones and Dan Hill. With Steve Churchyard, Steve Ferrone, Richard Martinez, Michael Thompson and Stephen Marcussen.

The song we made from loops, about the box we all want to check!

A favorite production of mine from the “Wedding” album, with three guitar players!

Falling Angel. One of the really great songs that I produced, engineered, programmed, and played guitar on, that didn’t make the final cut of Duran Duran’s Wedding album.

It started out as my 1992 Valentines day song, written in Paris, asking for forgiveness for being a man. It didn’t work.

And the brilliant Alan Frew/Glass Tiger recording with Steve Ferrone, Justin Clayton and Chris Garcia, recorded in the Dell, and at the Record Plant, Hollywood, and mixed on the Neve, and a flock of Fairchilds, by Steve Churchyard, Walter Turbitt and myself, at A & M Studios, Hollywood (Chaplin, Hansen), and mastered by Stephen Marcussen.
