To cap off the band's highly successful 1983/1984 "Sing Blue Silver" World
Tour, EMI released a live album, which according to the sleeve was
"Recorded Around The World 1984".

The album featured most of the band's big hits in a live environment, as well
as some album tracks from Rio (1982) and Seven and the Ragged Tiger
(1983), and a new studio track "The Wild Boys", which was produced by Nile
Rodgers, who had previously remixed the single "The Reflex", and had been
a member of the disco/funk group Chic.

"The Wild Boys" single was issued with six separate covers - one featuring
each individual band member and one of the band collectively.

At the time of release, critics were suspicious that the mix was too polished
for a live album, as most of the audience was muted. The unique song
arrangements and ad-libs like "Is anybody hungry?" indicated that this was
indeed a live effort.

Other criticism arose from the omission of some of the band's biggest songs
like "The Reflex", "Girls On Film" and "Rio". However, Arena still managed to
peak at #6 in the UK (November 24) and #4 in the US (December 1).

The album was eventually re-issued 1 June 2004 and included two bonus
tracks "Girls On Film" and "Rio".

Arena would be the only full-length live Duran Duran release until the 2003
Encore Series of official bootleg recordings from shows in Japan and the West
Coast of the USA.
