Product Description
Album Description
Adam and the Ants' second album, Kings of the Wild Frontier, originally released in 1980 and reaching number 1 in the UK albums chart, propelled the band to superstar status and spawned 3 Top 10 hit singles, "Dog Eat Dog", "Ant Music" and the title track "Kings of the Wild Frontier". This expanded edition is digitally remastered from the original two-track master tapes and includes never-before-heard early demo versions of "Ant Music", "Feed Me to the Lions", "The Human Beings", "S.E.X." (written for the album but eventually appeared on Prince Charming). The expanded edition also includes a demo version of a track called "The Omlette from Outerspace", which formed the basis of "Ants Invasion". Also features expanded album artwork with many rare or unseen photos and three-page digipack with 12-page booklet.
CD Description
1980's KINGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER was actually the second Adam and the Ants record, preceded by an unremarkable postpunk indie effort called DIRK WEARS WHITE SOX, recorded with the musicians who later became Bow Wow Wow. However, it becamea massive commercial breakthrough and one of the defining albums of early '80s British chart pop.
Mixing the sort ofbooming double-drummer rhythms Gary Glitter had popularisedyears before with a certain post-postpunk cynicism and a remarkable flair for self-mythology, Adam Ant (born Stuart Goddard) and his cohorts, led by ex-Banshees guitarist Marco Pirroni and producer/drummer Chris Hughes, created a bubblegum-pop gem on the same level as the early albums by The Sweet and the Bay City Rollers (which is meant as a compliment). Led by the classic single "Antmusic", the album also featuresthe pounding "Physical (You're So)", and several other goofy gems.
