Cool. I just cued up this album, haven’t listened to it in a long time.
Thanks

The bottom left would be the actual album cover. Photo of model Marcie Hunt on the right.

“This is so cool! I absolutely did not know until now that this photo of me was used for the Rio cover,” she wrote. She took it a lot better than Ann Kirsten Kennis who after discovering a modeling polaroid of her from 1983 on the cover of Vampire Weekend's "Contra" immediately sued the band.

Great album, BTW and, yes, 80s chicks were hot.

She’s at least one standard deviation above the mean, on the “girl next door” scale.

That's straight-up 80s suburban white girl right there.

The is the greatest model album cover art ever. The model is Kate Murtagh.

Well, I should have said “among the greatest ever”...
To: 1FreeAmerican
I do love it. The pic I posted was not from an album cover but from the movie “Barbarella”. The band Duran Duran got their name from the movies villain.

I couldn’t even name one Duran Duran song... Not my cup of tea I guess.

Was that one of their songs? I don’t recognize the title. Just not much of a fan of pop 80s I guess.

I mean, this isn't exactly a new band we're talking about here.
