Elton John is beating Duran Duran in the UK midweek album sales. I think this must have been what prompted Duran Duran to start selling vinyl copies with single individual signatures on them, at £28+pp per band member. That’s quite a price to pay for all 7 members – i.e. Simon, Nick, Roger and the four Johns.
The only question was around John Taylor's signature - the John sig in the second image seems like his usual style but there were many examples of 'John' on these signed cards.
