Collector-grade sealed U.S. BMG Direct Marketing club issue of Duran Duran’s iconic second album “Rio” — one of the defining synth-pop releases of the early 1980s. This issue was pressed under license by Capitol Records exclusively for BMG Direct Marketing (Indianapolis distribution), distinguishable by the unique catalog number “C 101930” printed on the spine and cassette shell.
Features all the band’s early MTV-era hits including “Hungry Like The Wolf,” “Save A Prayer,” and “Rio,” housed in its original factory cellophane wrap.

This particular BMG edition is valued among collectors for its distinct spine layout, clear shell design, and understated silver label print — a variant rarely encountered sealed. The cassette includes Dolby HX Pro B NR encoding and the Capitol dome logo on the artwork front.
