At long last, the version of 'Rio' we Americans (yeah, us yanks!) grew up on!
This version of 'Rio' is worth every penny due to the release, for the first time ever on CD or in preservable digital format, of the U.S. album mixes (including both the U.S. "album mix" and subsequent "Night Version" of "Hungry Like the Wolf") as presented to in 1983. The U.K. mixes are present and accounted for as well, making this truly the definitive 'Rio'. I could not be happier with the sound quality of this release. Even the MP3's are balanced, clear and actually quite punchy: a step up even from the 2001 remaster, which was a tad bass-heavy.To see how to burn your own copy of the U.S. version of 'Rio' using the files here, go check the 'Rio' album Wikipedia page [...] (album). It lists the track lists for the first American pressing and the revised version.Thanks, EMI and Duran, for this wonderful and thorough collection!
