Immortal: Reflections on John Taylor

Seeing John Taylor Through New Eyes

An in-depth look at the career of John Taylor

IMMORTAL celebrates one of the most recognizable and influential bassists of his generation. Written and curated by Andrew “Durandy” Golub, the book explores John Taylor’s remarkable career through rare memorabilia, photography, artwork, advertisements and other original material collected across decades. While Duran Duran naturally forms the heart of the story, IMMORTAL also looks beyond the band, exploring Taylor’s wider body of work, creative collaborations and enduring influence. Personal reflections from musicians, photographers, friends and collaborators add another dimension to the story, creating a richly visual portrait of both the artist and the extraordinary career behind him.

A Career Told Through the Archive

Original memorabilia tells John Taylor’s story in a way a traditional biography cannot

Drawing from decades of collecting and preserving Duran Duran history, Golub uses original posters, advertisements, photographs, artwork and promotional ephemera to document the moments that shaped John Taylor’s career. These pieces do more than illustrate the story. Each is an artifact of its time, capturing the music, design, fashion and fan culture surrounding John’s evolution as an artist and offering a visual perspective that words alone cannot recreate.

“I always look forward to Andy’s books. His interest in Duran Duran knows no bounds, and he has produced many beautiful publications. His well curated collection of memorabilia is the envy of us all!”

Reception & Reviews

The challenge was to let the memorabilia speak for itself while creating a design that feels cohesive, contemporary and worthy of the material.”
