Fans of Duran Duran are finally getting what they’ve been waiting for. The band’s 1993 self-titled release, widely known as The Wedding Album, is set to receive a long-anticipated vinyl reissue on April 10, 2026, marking its first appearance on the format in over three decades.
Originally released at a pivotal moment in the band’s career, The Wedding Album reintroduced Duran Duran to a new generation of listeners. Anchored by the global smash hit “Ordinary World,” alongside standout tracks like “Come Undone” and “Too Much Information,” the record signaled a powerful resurgence for the group in the early ’90s. The album’s polished production and emotionally resonant songwriting helped solidify its place as one of the band’s most important releases.
The album earned its nickname, The Wedding Album, due to its distinctive cover art, which features wedding photographs of the band members’ parents, a deeply personal and symbolic visual that reflected the introspective tone of the music inside.
This upcoming 2026 vinyl edition offers more than just a nostalgic spin. The reissue will feature a newly embossed sleeve, giving the packaging a premium tactile finish, and will also include a 12-inch art card, making it an essential collectible for longtime fans and vinyl enthusiasts alike.
With vinyl continuing its strong resurgence worldwide, the return of The Wedding Album to turntables is both timely and fitting. For many fans, this reissue represents a chance to experience the album the way it was meant to be heard, warm, rich, and immersive, while introducing its timeless tracks to yet another generation.
After more than 30 years off the format, The Wedding Album is ready to say “I do” to vinyl once again.
