No album represented this rip-it-up-and-start-again movement better than the act's breakthrough 1982 LP, \u003ci\u003eRio\u003c\/i\u003e. A cohesive album with a retro-futuristic sound   influences include danceable disco, tangy funk, swaggering glam, and Roxy Music's art-rock   the full-length sold millions and spawned smashes such as \"Hungry Like the Wolf\" and the title track.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e However, \u003ci\u003eRio\u003c\/i\u003e wasn't a success everywhere at first; in fact, the LP had to be buffed-up with remixes and reissued before it found an audience in America. The album was further buoyed by colorful music videos and a cutting-edge visual aesthetic, both of which established the 2022 Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame inductees as leaders of an MTV-driven second British Invasion. Via extensive new and exclusive interviews with band members and other figures who helped \u003ci\u003eRio \u003c\/i\u003esucceed, this book explores how and why \u003ci\u003eRio\u003c\/i\u003e became a landmark pop-rock album, and examines how the LP was both a musical inspiration   and a reflection of a musical, cultural, and technology zeitgeist.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46631878819998,"sku":"UBD-9798765100233","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9798765100233.jpg?v=1774310922","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9798765100233","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
