Many thanks to Bradley Hall for lending KYPP this early Adam And The Ants vinyl bootleg for uploading onto this site. Bradley is a regular browser and is mentioned on several other posts on KYPP. He is pictured above in the photo booth with fellow Ants supporter Terry Smith.<\/p>\n

Both Bradley and Terry were in a north London based band called Defex. Way back in 1978 one of the young band members managed to scrawl the band\u2019s name onto the old Roxy club entrance in Covent Garden. This graffiti was quickly spoilt by some young upstarts who where in a band called Crass. Crass seemingly went on their own stencil style graffiti mission around the west end of London afterwards and almost covered over this legendary north London bands name! Crass were obviously adept at some old fashioned paste and poster action as well as being able to handle spray cans and stencils in the darkness. Crass? What ever happened to that band? Defex I hope to upload some material onto KYPP at some point soon…<\/p>\n
As an impressionable and eager fifteen year old, Bradley first witnessed Adam And The Ants with Jordan screaming into the microphone alongside Adam, at the Rochester Castle in Stoke Newington around April 1978. After getting that taster in Stoke Newington he made a mental note of seeing the band as many times as he could throughout the next couple of years. Bradley went on to follow Adam And The Ants on dates throughout the Young Parisian and Zerox tours, enjoying performances on intense away days to venues far and wide around the UK. Bradley also wore his footwear down around the same period following tours by Martian Dance and The Monochrome Set, two bands that most other Ant people supported fiercely at the time. When I want to hear about the early Ants period, I end up going to two people for information, Tony D and Bradley Hall!<\/p>\n
Anyway this early bootleg of Adam And The Ants was pressed up in a poster fold around sleeve and was limited to only five hundred copies. It contains the recordings that comprised both the Decca and Croydon sessions arguably some of the best material the band never released. The band at the time comprised of Adam Ant, Matthew Ashman, Andy Warren and Dave Barbe. The actual vinyl label itself has the names of the songs written in a vague code presumably so that the pressing plant didn’t know that the record was illegal.<\/p>\n
