Although Friends was released as the final Adam And The Ants single in 1982, it was actually recorded way back in ‘79, during theDirk Wears White Sox sessions. Put out by their old label Do It, Friends charted as part of The B-SidesEP and is a stellar example of their early, pre-Burundi Beat sound.
Adam’s eighth solo disc was spun from his fourth album Manners & Physiqueand was his first 7” in five years. Sonically it sounds more like Prince than classic Adam Ant, which isn’t surprising as the Purple One’s protégé André Cymone had a hand in its writing. It would prove to be Adam’s final UK Top 20 hit.
Despite its nonsensical lyrics (“Well whoopsin-a whoopsin (dress it up)/ Jan jan jammering (dress it up, dress it up)/ Yabba-yabba-ding-ding”), this is a cracking single, the first 7” from Adam’s third solo album Vive Le Rock (though it was released a whole year before the LP dropped). Produced by Tony Visconti (Bowie, Marc Bolan et al), it would c...
Backed by a stupendously silly video (featuring veteran comedy thesp Lionel Jeffries of all people), this was solo Adam’s second highest charting single after Goody Two Shoes. More pantomimic (quite literally so!) than his Ants work, it’s good fun, even if it played more to Adam’s younger audience than the punk diehards that had been with him since...
The ultimate in bubblegum pop (and we mean that as a compliment!), Cartrouble’s galloping drums and innuendo-strewn lyrics mark it out as one of the best early Ants singles. Notably different from the version on Dirk Wears White Sox, the one-worded Cartrouble was issued by Do It in March 1980 and reached No.33on the UK chart.
Whereas Goody Two Shoes and Friend Or Foe hadn’t been too removed from the classic Ants sound, third solo single Desperate But Not Serious owed more to the moody theatrics of Bauhaus or The Cure. The public didn’t quite take to this new Adam (the single stiffed at No.33), but its doomy basslines showed that the singer wasn’t a one-trick pony.
Originally waxed in 1977, Deutscher Girls made its debut in the Derek Jarman big screen punk drama Jubilee, in which Adam also starred. Recorded by the first line-up of Adam And The Ants, the song was re-released by EG Records after the success of 1980’s Kings Of The Wild Frontier LP, thus making it a posthumous hit for the original band.
The second single off fourth solo album Manners & Physique, Can’t Set Rules About Love deserved better than its No.47chart placing. Certainly a smoother, poppier record than we’d come to expect from the one-time punk, it also featured an uncharacteristically sharp-suited Adam in the accompanying video.
Teaming up with Tony Visconti for his third long-player, Vive Le Rockwas yet another sonic reinvention for Adam. More rockist than his earlier material, its glam-meets-rockabilly stylings have aged well, if only because there was always a futuristic sheen to much of Adam’s best work.
Anyone who’d come to Adam And The Ants via their chart-friendly punk-pop would have been startled by this full-assault rocker from 1980. Issued as the B-side of Stand And Deliver, this snotty favourite shows that, for all the theatrics, Adam And The Ants were a bona fide punk band.
