Duran Duran-The Chauffeur Demo Version

[Mistysmudge1]

I thought this was the b side of the single Rio, as my sister had this and i used to play this alot.....might be different in states though as in UK

[RagglTaggleGypsyGirl]

It was just a comment about nick in general. He was always my fav.

[thezaylady]

This version makes my throat ache and my eyes sting. Such magic!

[FidelCastro128]

fantastic acoustic version! could you fwd an mp3?

Cheers:)

[mcsmcs1971]

Wasn't this a b-side on a 12 inch single? Can't rmember which one. Any idea where you can buy this from as a download???

[FidelCastro128]

The new romatic' pirates of the british pop'.

Those puffy shirts were a fire hazard!

[RagglTaggleGypsyGirl]

wow. Simon at 2:17. Really, just WOW! I have to admit thought, the puffy shirt at 3:05 has to go.

[RagglTaggleGypsyGirl]

Nick is the reason I became bisexual, lol He's beautiful and handsome all rolled together in a delicious package! Simon comes a very very close second!

[Latas33007]

@RagglTaggleGypsyGirl Interesting that on this version you mention Nick, as his artistry is conspicuously absent here ;)

[spikeyproductions100]

Great version

[cortinadale]

this is the B side on the rio single

[SigvardSpino495]

This is NOT a demo version but a live acoustic version from the 90's.

[Meowat12a]

Simon IS love, period. What a melodic voice.

[omgitsdebbie]

[johnstonutd]

i got this on vinyl, second hand, many years ago, but the vinyl was so badly warped that it wouldnt play on my turntable! so its nice to finally hear this, thanks alot for posting it!!! its beautifull.

[MrAndron1]

[sergrod1]

1 word: BEAUTIFUL

[duranasty]

ive got this on the uk 7" vinyl of rio as the b side and its on the box set 81-85.this is prob the first version of this song as they say it was acoustic to start.

[jflowe09]

just wonderful............

[93horus93]

And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind

The front of your dress - all shadowy lined

And the droning engine throbs in time

With your beating heart

[girlfriendisbetter]

Wow!

been waitingto hear this again for years

thanks so much for posting, much appreciated

[LaFoliex]

This was actually first released as the B side to "Rio" as The chauffer (Blue Silver) version. "theres more to this kind of camoflauge; more than just colour and shape.....

[brigand18]

Great performance. Thanks...

[kysteelerfan]

I think the dark mysterious version is the allure of the song, but i like songs on albums that are not played on the radio. They tend to be my favorites, but it is awesome to hear the creation of this song. Keep going D D.

[jhutch524]

WOW! This is a great version of this song! Where can I find it? Its brighter than the one on the Rio album and so much brighter than the 50 million covers of it. I love it.

[koos72]

the song is on the cd single come undone part 2 promo from 1993 emi reccords lim cd2 07777 15981 28 manufactured by capitol reccords inc u.s this is the sery number maybe it will help you finding it good luck

[PatientEye]

koos72, thx for the reminder. I do have this CD single......and I got it out immediately.

[jonathan19641]

i got part 2 and 3 !!!!!with more remixes from the same cd2 077777 15982/3 2829

the real one from"come undone' single uk and us

[gregingram1970]

is this better than the synthe version? probably not but wot a track. DD stripped off production values and marketing strategies: writing songs like this is bascially why they are still around today. Bye the way, how many bands have covered this song?

[gbxroadie]

I just recently heard of this version... took me back to 86 for a little while, but it was NEW. This is without a doubt the absolutely most talented I have ever heard those guys sound. I have always liked their sound, but this song is indescribably good. I really love the spanish guitar sound and when they let the chords drag and the strings twang. Sounds reminiscent of Chris Isaacs' work. EXCELLENT SONG. THANKS FOR PUTTING IT UP.

[popfixer]

appears in one of the cd remixes of COME undone, in 1993.

[princesstina1009]

Fabulous, thank you so much. Love them.

[Latas33007]

Is there a place to find this version online so I can download it? I love this version!!!!!

[Mucisha]

It's on Rio Maxi single and on cd format you can find it only in their The Singles 81-85 Box Set

[JimmyMVideoJukebox]

wasnt on the original vinyl rio maxi single..they just tagged it onto the cd reissue maxi in the boxed set.

[notlikeu]

Originally the b-side of the Japanese 7" of Rio. Used to be very hard to find.

[trollo]

I conic song,

[trollo]

I conic song,

[funniteout]

o m g i still no the words

[Latas33007]

Only thing I'm missing on this, after giving it a second listen, is the recorder.

[gretchendot]

the instrument simon plays on the original is called an ocarina.

this version is gorgeous!

[Latas33007]

wow. Nick Who?

[ladyduran07]

Love the pics and the song! DD 4-EVER!!!!!
