Singles Box Set 1986–1995 is a box set by Duran Duran. Comprising 14 CDs, it was released by EMI 13 September 2004 and features the singles covering the era from "Notorious" to "Thank You".
This was the first time many of these tracks, including B-sides and alternate versions, appeared on CD.
While a few remixes were also absent from this collection, the most notable missing songs are four B-sides which appeared on various editions of the "Come Undone" single in 1993:
"To the Shore" originally appeared on the band's first album Duran Duran (1981), but due to the playing time limitations of vinyl records, when the album was reissued in 1983 the song was dropped in favour of the new single "Is There Something I Should Know?". The song remained unfamiliar to many who became fans only after their mainstream success in 1983 and after.
The boxset comprises the following CD singles:
Singles Box Set 1981–1985 is a boxset by Duran Duran. Comprising thirteen CDs, it was released by EMI on 12 May 2003 (2003-05-12) and covers the era from Duran Duran (1981) to Arena (1984), as well as non-album single "A View to a Kill" (1985).
Each CD is supposed to be a faithful copy of the UK vinyl single as it was released in the early 1980s, with all of the b-sides and alternate tracks, and each is packaged in a square cardboard sleeve replicating the original artwork. The thirteen cardboard sleeves are then packaged in a heavy-duty card box.
This was the first time many of these tracks, including b-sides and alternate versions, appeared on CD.

The discography of British girl group Girls Aloud consists of five studio albums, two greatest hits albums, two live albums, and one remix album. The band has also released twenty-one singles and have provided eleven original recordings for other albums. Girls Aloud was formed in 2002 on the ITV1 talent show Popstars: The Rivals. Viewers voted for Cheryl Tweedy, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Sarah Harding to be members of the group. The following month they won the program by claiming the coveted Christmas Number One, ahead of the male group One True Voice. They released their debut single "Sound of the Underground", which became the Christmas number-one on both the UK Singles Chart and Irish Singles Chart. Their second single, "No Good Advice", was released in both CD and DVD single formats in May 2003. A week later, the group released their debut album Sound of the Underground, which was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The third single to be taken from the album was "Life Got Cold". Their fourth single, "Jump", a cover version of "Jump (for My Love)" by The Pointer Sisters, was taken from the soundtrack for the film Love Actually, and appeared on the re-issue of Sound of the Underground.
Oh, I'd like to be like a bird up in the sky
Hoppin' from branch to branch and learning to fly
I'd fly right over the hill
Right to your window sill, your window sill
I'm just crazy about you darlin'
You're one in a million
Or I'd like to be like a fish down deep in the sea
Swimmin' from canyon to canyon and feeling free
I'd pull up on your line
Let you catch me any time, any time
I'm just crazy about you darlin'
You're one in a million
Or I'd like to be like a great big bumble bee
I'd live in a hive that was hangin' from your tree
I'd make sweet honey for you
That's just what I would do, only for you
I'm just crazy about you darlin'
You, you, you
You're one in a million
