Duran Duran – I Don’t Want Your Love (UK 12″ Promo)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988

Originally posted June 17, 2014

“I Don’t Want Your Love” is the seventeenth single from Duran Duran and the first single from the Big Thing album. It was released on September 1988. As with the album, the band’s name was rendered on the artwork as Duranduran.

“I Don’t Want Your Love” both debuted and peaked at number 14 in the UK, but did much better in the rest of Europe, especially in Italy where it spent six non-consecutive weeks at number 1, and was the best-selling single of 1988 in that country. It also did very well in the U.S., reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

In the UK a promo 12″ includes the dub mix of “I Don’t Want Your Love”, which was unreleased elsewhere until 1999’s Strange Behaviour remix collection (which strangely didn’t use the lead 12″ mix entitled “Big Mix”).
