6ix by 3hree
1986 music video compilation by Duran Duran
6ix by 3hree (Six by Three) is a video compilation by English rock band Duran Duran released in 1989 on VHS and LaserDisc. There is currently no commercial DVD release available but the whole compilation was included as an extra on the 2010 DD Fan Club DVD release of Three to Get Ready. The six videos of the title are taken from the band's albums Notorious and Big Thing.
The intent of this release was similar to the Seven and the Ragged Tiger video EP Dancing on the Valentine, mopping up an album's worth (or two albums in this case) of videos and getting them to market. However, the release of Decade a year later meant that most of the videos on both of these compilations were readily available on one release.
6ix by 3hree does include two videos not available on other compilations—"Meet El Presidente" and "Do You Believe in Shame?"—but they were included as extras on the CD/DVD special releases of Notorious and Big Thing, respectively.

Why this record matters
The phrase “1986 music video compilation by Duran Duran” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 7, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4642553. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1989 and 2010.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
