5.0 out of 5 stars A True Classic, 28 Dec 2000
By A Customer
I bought this on vinyl when it was first released and when Adam reformed the Ants in the early '80's and their popularity grew I found it hard to convince anyone it was worth buying. "No, it's punk" they cried. Well, time passes and people are eventually sitting up to listen. Don't be left out, buy it now on CD and believe!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars THIS is the best of Adam Ant, 23 Jun 2007
By Stephen Howarth "Fastarse" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Before the short one went bonkers he actually made some great records, before Ant Music & Kings of The Wild Frontier marked him out as a passing fashion, before TV & fame caught up with him this was what he was doing. Somehow the music press labelled this a punk album (as they did with most new stuff that they couldn't properly define) but it was so much more, one for the art crowd, one for the underground, one for history. There were flashes of brilliance to come after this release but they were soon stifled by the record company's stranglehold on his `direction' Some of the best stuff to make it to the general public, those not in the know, those who didn't buy Dirk when it first came around, were released as B sides and some of those have made it onto this re mastered album.
This is a dark, brooding & honest album. It has plenty of underlying themes that probably escaped us when we listened to it in our early teens, it takes influence from many of the less contemporary bands around at the time and stands alone as one of the albums that start the push towards more experimental and avant garde music in Britain. The original tracks plus a few added B sides make this a definitive compilation of pre pop star Adam Ant, the only thing missing is the faintly funny "Why do girls like horses?" I always liked that one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Adam and the Ants album !, 19 Dec 2000
By A Customer
When the Ants were having their succesful period in about '81, I bought this album really just to complete my collection of their stuff and to tell the truth, I didn't like it much at the time. It was totally different to the music they were making at that time ( having been recorded 2 years earlier with a totally different line-up ), but after a while it really grew on me. It is a really good, clever album with some excellent songs on it which have stood the test of time. I love " Nine plan failed " and " Never trust a man ( with egg on his face )" the most. The songs are very sparse but very atmospheric. Dave Barbe ( the drummer) stands out on all the songs on this album. He was a very talented drummer who's talents were even more obvious with Bow Wow Wow, but who's rhythms shaped a lot of the songs on this album. It's a pity that this particular line-up only recorded one album together. An underrated classic ! Buy and be pleasantly surprised !

2.0 out of 5 stars not too bad
this is his early stuff. It does come across like a garage / demoish sound. There are some good stuff,but production is weak. i would suggest only if your an Adam Ant nut.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic
This album defined the sound of Adam Ant, to say this album is punk would not be strictly true it is more like dark pop. A bridge between punk and glam. Read more
