The compilation album Decade was released late in 1989, along with the megamix single ” Burning the Ground “, which consisted of woven snippets of the band’s hits from the previous ten years, created and produced with John Jones , who began working with the band after the release of Big Thing . The single came and went with little fanfare, but the album became another major seller for the band. The 1990 release Liberty (a retreat from the experimentation of Big Thing ) failed to capitalise on any regained momentum. The album entered the UK album chart in the top ten, but faded away quickly. The singles ” Violence of Summer (Love’s Taking Over) ” and ” Serious ” were only mildly successful. For the first time, Duran Duran did not tour in support of an album, performing on only a handful of club dates and TV shows. Campbell left the band early in 1991, going on to work with Soul Asylum and David Bowie . The quartet of Le Bon, Rhodes, John Taylor and Cuccurullo would remain intact for six more years.
