Not only did it fail to repeat the huge success of "Notorious" but it failed to get the top 20 on either side of the Atlantic, and that was a first for the band since their very earliest releases. "Skin Trade" later grew to become a fan favourite, but the change of style and direction were shocking at the time. #22 UK Singles Chart (7 March 1987) #39 Billboard Hot 100 (14 March 1987) #3 Italy Other appearances Apart from the single, "Skin Trade" has also appeared on: Albums: Notorious (1986) Master Mixes (1987) Decade (1989) Now That's What I Call Music!, 1987 - 10th Anniversary Series (1999) Greatest (1998) Strange Behaviour (1999) Singles Box Set 1986-1995 (2004) Singles: All She Wants Is (1989) Ordinary World (1993) Come Undone (1993) Personnel Duran Duran are: Simon Le Bon – vocals John Taylor – bass Nick Rhodes – keyboards With: Warren Cuccurullo – guitars (bridge sections) Nile Rodgers – guitars Steve Ferrone – drums The Borneo Horns – horns Curtis King – background vocals Brenda White-King – background vocals Tessa Niles – background vocals Cindy Mizelle – background vocals Production: Nile Rodgers – producer Duran Duran – producer Daniel Abraham – remixer, engineer and mixer Larry Levan – remixer Charts Weekly charts Year-end charts References External links TM's Duran Duran Discography 1987 singles Duran Duran songs Song recordings produced by Nile Rodgers Songs written by Simon Le Bon Songs written by John Taylor (bass guitarist) Songs written by Nick Rhodes
