USA and Hong Kong release

Master Mixes is an EP of remixes from Duran Duran. Master Mixes was released as a double one-sided 12" pack for promotional purposes only in the U.S. and Hong Kong.

Rumour has it that the band were readying either "American Science" or "Vertigo" as a likely fourth single from Notorious and had commissioned remixes in anticipation. However, as both "Skin Trade" and "Meet El Presidente" both failed to enter the top 20, plans for a fourth single were quietly scrapped.

In time for the US leg of the Strange Behaviour Tour in June and July, Masterdisc released this Master Mixes collection, compiling the unused remixes, as well as a further mix of "Skin Trade" and a megamix called "Notoriousaurus Rex".

In 1999, EMI released a collection of remixes under the title Strange Behaviour and included the "American Science (Chemical Reaction Mix)", giving the mix its first truly commercial release. The other remix of "American Science" and the Kurtis Mantronik mixes of "Vertigo" still have yet to receive a commercial release.
