Duran Duran’s ‘Notorious,’ ‘Big Thing’ deluxe reissues pushed back to late September

Now that EMI has come out defending its last set of expanded Duran Duran reissues, the label has pushed back the next pair: 1986’s Notorious and 1988’s Big Thing both now due on Sept. 27, nearly four months after their original June release date. Duran Duran posted the new date Monday, although a fan site reported months ago that an early September release was likely. Each of the albums will be available in 2CD/1DVD sets, as well as on vinyl — plus there’ll be digital-only live albums for each title (see full details here).
