On the Packaging

The green sticker calls attention to the live version of “Save a Prayer.” On the reverse, the three-song program is listed once with a note that it repeats on both sides of the tape. The sleeve credits Duran Duran and John Jones for the title track’s production and identifies Arena as the source of the live recording.

The photographed sleeve carries 1993 EMI copyright information, Capitol manufacturing credits and U.S. printing information. The exact release day of this cassette edition has not been verified.

A Word from the Archive

A cassette single could offer more than one way into a song. This edition pairs “Ordinary World” with an acoustic arrangement, then looks back to “Save a Prayer” through a live performance from Arena.

The compact sleeve brings those recordings together with the title’s woodland artwork and an original retail sticker. Kept sealed, it preserves a small piece of how Duran Duran’s Wedding Album era reached listeners on tape.
