Adam and his Antz second 7\u2033 single, recorded by the second Antz line up comprising the musicians that recorded the \u2018Dirk Wears White Socks\u2019 LP.<\/p>\n
In 1980 this line up also infamously, had Malcolm\u00a0McClaren (the then manager\u00a0of the band) get the adorable and dreamy (I am allowed to say that cos I was a year younger than her at 13\/14 in 1980) 15 year old Annabella Lwin to join up on vocals to become Bow Wow Wow, leaving Adam on his Jack Jones.<\/p>\n
Quite a coup, still Adam got the last laugh becoming a huge world wide star with a completely different band.<\/p>\n
Both the new Adam And The Ants (note different spelling now)\u00a0and Bow Wow Wow\u00a0had a very similar sound, performed in similar\u00a0venues, and on similar TV\u00a0and Radio sessions, and I am still quite amazed to this day that\u00a0Bow Wow Wow did not overshadow the new Adam And The Ants in world wide\u00a0popularity in 1980-1981.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adam and his new Ants released the \u2018Kings Of The Wild Frontier\u2019 LP, which is a mighty fine listen. Bow Wow Wow released their first\u00a0LP\/EP release on cassette only format. That format did not qualify as a single in the charts, nor ironically an LP, the fact that there was no LP\u00a0format meant a lot less sales. Bow Wow Wow lost ground on Adam\u00a0And The Ants from that point on and were lapped several times before Bow Wow Wow released a proper vinyl LP (plus cassette version) in 1981.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe I should not be so amazed\u2026McClaren and E.M.I. bodging it up again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
