Notorious (song) - B-side and Official Remixes

B-side and Official Remixes

For the first time, the B-side to the 7" single was not an original recording; "Winter Marches On" was an unaltered version of the Notorious album track. Before this, Duran Duran had always provided either completely original songs or previously unheard remixes on the B-side.

As a first for the band, "Notorious" was released as two separate 12" singles. The first had a Nile Rodgers produced "Extended Mix" while the second featured a remix by The Latin Rascals.

There are five official mixes of "Notorious":

• Album Version 4:18 - original mix
• 7"/45 Mix 3:58 - Album Version, with a slightly edited middle 8 and outro
• Extended Mix 5:18 - Album Version, with a one minute dub intro added on
• Latin Rascals Mix 6:23 – basically the Album Version, with a 1:10 dub intro and two brief remixed interludes spliced in
• Disconet Remix 6:33 – 1:30 dub intro, with the rest of the song more comprehensively remixed and rearranged; in particular, the guitars and percussion are accentuated

As a perennially popular song in their back catalogue, "Notorious" appears in various Duran Duran megamixes, most notably:

• "Notoriousaurus Rex (Master Mix)"
• "Burning the Ground" and its B-side, "Decadance"
• "DMC Megamix"
