[edit] Moving to proper capitalization

I am moving this to Seven and the Ragged Tiger, (note the lowercase "and the"), per WikiProject Music standards (Section 3, #10), and per the capitalization on the band's official site [1]. Very nicely written article! Catherine | talk 04:00, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Videos

I am very curious about the following assertion:

The ["Union of the Snake"] video was one of the first to be filmed on 35mm film stock, instead of videotape.

Most videos before "Union of the Snake" (including Duran Duran's old videos) were shot on film (though I don't know if 35mm was commonly used). A few examples: Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio," Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This," Dio's "Rainbow in the Dark," The Cure's "The Walk." In fact, I think videos shot on videotape would be the exception (not counting videotaped footage from another TV show, which was sometimes broadcast as "a video" on M-TV). -- Gyrofrog 07:10, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps I didn't understand the source material correctly then; several of the books and articles I used as references made a point that this was a first for video -- perhaps there was a finer distinction on the 35mm part. Please feel free to find a better wording for the sentence. — Catherine\^talk 02:18, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I've removed the sentence. It had been reworded to read "The video, like many previous Duran videos, was once again filmed on 35mm film stock instead of videotape". As such, there is nothing distinctive about it and doesn't warrant a mention (at least not with this wording). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

Most of the article's content is duplicated for some reason (perhaps an errant cut-and-paste). I have deleted the duplicate content. -- Gyrofrog 07:10, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

"The Reflex" was #1 in the UK for 4 weeks, and for 2 weeks in the US, according to Billboard magazine. Where did the 5 weeks at the top statement come from? 76.22.201.109 05:54, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
