Point of order Mr. Quizmaster. It's a correct answer, but not to question #13 it isn't.

Its the offshoot of Duran Duran that isn’t Arcadia, but I can’t remember what they were called
You are right with it being a mixture of Chic & Duran Duran.

An album sleeve? (I am not sure if what I see in #16,763 is what I should see.)
Mot sure if it’s posted properly - my phone is misbehaving. I *think* I’ve sorted it now

Looks like the cover from New Order's 1983 12" single "Blue Monday".

It is a floppy disc for data storage! Or the cover for such a disc?
Exactly. Styled to look like a 5.25” floppy disk, complete with die-cut holes that made the sleeve so expensive to produce that Factory Records lost money on every copy they sold. (Un)fortunately for them, it became the biggest selling 12” single in history.
The sleeve doesn’t have the name of the band or song printed on it, but the coloured shapes on the right hand side spell it out in a code which is revealed on the back of the Power, Corruption And Lies album
The recording studio is all yours....

Staying with the performing arts theme...
In which year was "The Theatre", reputedly England's first permanent playhouse, opened by Richard Burbage in Shoreditch in London?
