Duran Duran's platinum-certified Notorious was produced by Nile Rodgers; its release in 1986 followed the Grammy-winning band's third album, Seven and The Ragged Tiger, by three years. The title track reached #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, and was revisited by The Notorious B.I.G. in 1999 as the sampled foundation of his eponymous single.

Disc one of Notorious (Ltd. Special Edition) includes the original album plus three single remixes. Disc two adds seven mixes and the "Duran Goes Dutch" EP, recorded at the Ahoy, Rotterdam on May 7, 1987. The DVD includes the music videos for "Notorious," "Skin Trade," and "Meet El Presidente," a November 1986 "Top Of The Pops" U.K. TV performance of "Notorious," and for the first time on DVD, "Working For The Skin Trade," a concert film shot in Rio de Janeiro during the band's 1987-'88 "Strange Behaviour Tour."

Big Thing, recorded at Devout Studios in Paris and co-produced by Jonathan Elias and Daniel Abraham, was released in 1988. The album's title track and lead single, "I Don't Want Your Love," reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on the Dance Play/Club Singles chart, and its second single, "All She Wants Is," also took the top spot on Billboard's Dance Play/Club Singles chart, peaking at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album's cover art was designed by Swiss illustrator and artist Hans Arnold.
