Notes

3rd edition, Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Winchester pressing.
"Hungry Like The Wolf" is the "Night Version" mixed by Colin Thurston, most easily identified by 5:14 track timing, all other tracks on Side A are the so-called "US Mixes" remixed by David Kershenbaum. Remix credits had been added to the inner sleeve, compared to 2nd edition.

[Note on the different US releases of 'Rio':]
All 'Rio' lacquers, cut in-contract by TML and Precision Mastering, show a "Z" in the runout matrix and had been consecutively numbered.
Except Z-1 and Z-4, the numbering system counts A- and B-side lacquers separately and was used for all three album variants.
By these Z-numbers, the pressing plant, the album variant and the side of the record can be identified:
Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Winchester: Z2 (Var.1, B) / Z5 (Var.1, A) / Z6 (Var.1, B) / Z9 (Var.2, B) / Z10 (Var.3, B) / Z11 (Var.3, B) / Z15 (Var.2, A) / Z18 (Var.3, A) / Z19 (Var.3, A)

    Oh man, this is a great record! A thrift store find that I've had this on my shelf for 10 years before cleaning and listening. Great mastering and pressing. Very little surface noise as I think I only heard one or two very very quiet pops.

      Well, first of all, this is a much better record than I ed. Especially side two - wow! My pressing sounds great after a cleaning. Bass is articulate and punchy. (Sadly, my side A is full of pops, but I think that’s a lack of care from 40 years ago.) Good record!

        DURAN DURAN ROCKS hand etched into matrix. Very finely stamped numbers but not much else.
