С какого времени Уоррен в группе?, Непонятный разброс дат от 1986 и до 1988 года. Опции

[DDfans]

    По сведениям многих русских музыкальных энциклопедий Уоррен стал официальным членом группы только в 1988 году. Но основная часть заграничных же музыкальных энциклопедий утверждает что WC появился в группе с 1986 года, где принял участие в записи альбома 'Notorious' (хотя на обложке, если не ошибаюсь, расположение: Ник,Саймон,Джон и девка с деревом). Кто прав, кто виноват?

Duran Duran (1986-2001)

Almost immediately after the breakup of Missing Persons, Warren began contacting Duran Duran after finding out their guitarist, Andy Taylor, was planning to quit. He was brought in to play some of the guitar lines on their new album, “Notorious,” and on their next album, “Big Thing,” he played nearly all of the guitar. Throughout this period, he was featured in three music videos and was their hired guitarist for two world tours. In June 1989, Duran Duran announced that Warren had become a full and equal member of the band.

Their next album, “Liberty,” signified a shift into a harder-edged, more adult sound, and Warren truly made his mark. Recording sessions for “Duran Duran” (aka “The Wedding Album”) took up most of 1992. The first single, “Ordinary World,” became Duran Duran’s first major hit in years. The band recorded an episode of “MTV Unplugged,” which aired in late 1993. For this performance, Warren completely re-arranged the songs for a six-piece string section, percussionist, drummer, pianist and two backup singers in addition to the four members of the band. The albums “Thank You,” “Medazzaland” and “Pop Trash” followed, along with tours for each album and appearances on VH-1’s “Behind The Music,” “Hard Rock Live” and “Storytellers.”

In May 2001, ending months of speculation by fans and rumors of Duran Duran planning an “original five” reunion, Warren announced that he was leaving Duran Duran. A few days later, Duran Duran issued an announcement confirming their reunion plans. Warren performed three final shows with the band in Japan in June 2001 and has worked out a settlement with the band in which he receives a financial cut of their reunion album without having to participate. In late 2003, thanks to the efforts of his fans and Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes, he received an MTV Lifetime Achievement Award for his work with Duran Duran.
