Info for The Power Station (40th Anniversary Edition Remastered)

The Power Station, the supergroup featuring Duran Duran's John Taylor and Andy Taylor, along with singer Robert Palmer and drummer Tony Thompson will celebrate the 40th anniversary of their self-titled debut album.

The new album-set will expand the original 1985 album, featuring instrumental versions, single edits, the group's performance at Live Aid that year and other concert recordings.

The Power Station was a phenomenon of the mid-1980s. They were initially formed in 1984 as a one-off project by Andy Taylor and John Taylor of Duran Duran to record a cover of T. Rex’s “Get It On” with model and singer Bebe Buell. Enjoying the process of exploring a more rock sound, while chiming with the funkier drumming of Chic’s Tony Thompson, they came up with the concept of the group having a revolving singer.

Robert Palmer was invited to perform on “Communication,” after which he asked if he could add his vocals to “Get It On.” Palmer’s involvement soon put paid to that initial idea of revolving singers. They would go on to write and record their self-titled debut album, naming themselves after the studio in which they were working in New York. It was produced by Bernard Edwards of Chic with informal assistance from Nile Rodgers.

Considering the band’s foundations and its initial intentions, their success came as quickly as it did, unexpectedly. The album was released in March 1985, charting at No. 12 in the UK and #6 in the US. Its first two singles, “Some Like It Hot” and “Get It On,” reached No. 14 and No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 6 and No. 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100, respectively.

Palmer would only perform with the band live once on Saturday Night Live on February 16, 1985, and would leave the band shortly after the album came out. They toured with Michael Des Barres, who also performed with them for Live Aid (the recordings of which appear in both sets). Later that year, the band would disband with Palmer releasing his seminal album Riptide, John Taylor returning to Duran Duran and Andy Taylor pursuing a solo career. Tony Thompson remained an in-demand drummer playing with Jody Watley, Madonna, Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin and David Bowie, among others. Edwards would go on to be a renowned producer, having also produced Riptide; he would also work with Diana Ross, Adam Ant, Rod Stewart, Jody Watley, Grayson Hugh, Air Supply, ABC and Duran Duran.
