Singles Box Set 1981-1985 is a boxset by Duran Duran . Comprising thirteen CDs, it was released by EMI 12 May, 2003 and covers the era from '' Duran Duran '' (1981) to '' Arena '' (1984), as well as non-album single " A View To A Kill " (1985).

Each CD is supposed to be a faithful copy of the UK vinyl single as it was released in the early 1980s, with all of the b-sides and alternate tracks, and each is packaged in a square cardboard sleeve replicating the original artwork. The thirteen cardboard sleeves are then packaged in a heavy-duty card box.

This was the first time many of these tracks, including b-sides and alternate versions, appeared on CD.

There are at least three songs missing from the collection:
  • "To the Shore", the US b-side to "Planet Earth". This track is available elsewhere on CD, but so are many other tracks included in this collection.

  • "My Own Way" instrumental version. This instrumental version of the night version appeared on the UK Promo 12 inch single.

  • "New Religion (live)", the US b-side to "The Reflex". This is not the version which appeared on ''Arena'', but a different performance recorded February 7th, 1984 in Los Angeles.
