Interesting that "Rio" had a B-side of "The Chauffeur (Sing Blue Silver)" for the worldwide release, while the US, , and versions featured "Hold Back the Rain" instead.

Hehe, nice sleeve, could be a piss-take of Talk Talk!... smile instead of tears. Colin Thurston too.

Who knows what the version of the Chauffeur here? Like an LP or acoustic like from most 7 inches or third version?

This is an absolute gem, not to be missed if you're a DD fan

This mix and mastering on this press of Rio Pt.2 is hot and a welcome variation of the original. Two things really stood out. One, the guitar is more raw with more distortion. And there's a bass thump at the end of one verse, and is sustained leading into the chorus that is worth seeking out and hearing on a good system. It stopped me in my tracks...had never heard that detail before.
