Duran Duran - I Don’t Want Your Love

LP version (4:05)

It's on the full-length Duran Duran album, Capitol's Big Thing (1988). And that's it. The LP version is sparse and weird, compared to the 45 version. I can see why this version of the song isn't used on any later CDs.

45 version (3:48)

The promo CD single is Capitol DPRO-79426, copyright 1988, with the following two tracks:

1 - "7 Inch Mix", printed 3:47, actual 3:48
2 - "Big Mix", printed 7:25, actual 7:33

The following discs use the same analog transfer as the promo CD single:

• EMI Virgin PolyGram's UK 2-CD Now That's What I Call Music Vol. 13 (1988) - runs about two seconds short; avoid
• Capitol's Decade (1989) - differently-EQ'd digital clone
• swaitek's promo 50-CD The A List Disc 46 (1994) - has added noise reduction, and is almost certainly based on a TM Century mastering
• EMI's Rock 'N Roll Relix 1988-1989 (1998) - digitally exactly 2.43 dB quieter than Decade

I don't have Duran Duran's Greatest (1998). There are three other small-label compilations that are likely based on the mastering from Decade, but I can't confirm.

My recommendations

Assuming you want the 45 version...

If you want a single-artist CD, I love the first Duran Duran greatest hits package, Capitol's Decade (1989). Superb sound, nice track selection (except it omits "New Moon On Monday"). This was a favorite CD of mine back when.

If you want a compilation CD, I can endorse EMI's Rock 'N Roll Relix 1988-1989 (1998), which seems to be mostly (entirely?) made up of level-shifted digital clones of other existing CDs, without any early fades, added compression/limiting, or noise reduction.

Decade beats Greatest in sound quality
across the board, but Greatest does have a great
song selection. Too bad they never produced a good 2-
disc Duran Duran Greatest Hits before the loudness wars
began. It would have also been great to include the
Arcadia and Power Station hits too.

Hmmm, my copy of Decade definitely has “Union Of The Snake.”

I woke up in the middle of the night with the terrifying
realization that I had mixed up "New Moon on Monday" and
"Union of The Snake".

There is also the US commercial CD single, which goes for very little money, like six bucks or less:
