Lost Albums – Dark Circles

June 15th, 2008 by Russell Davies

Before they were in Duran Duran various Duranies, and Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy, were The Devils. And they made a famously lost album called 'Dark Circles'. The musical stuff is interesting but what's especially nice is to hear a story of an emerging 'scene'; the post-punk, new romantic world of Birmingham. I first got to The Rum Runner after the glory had faded but it still carried the Duran Imprimatur, a message that you could have a glamourous life without being born in Soho. MP3 here.
