Dandy Highwaymen The Best Of Adam And The Ants Rarity

“Give them the stem,” is the word, the curs being regarded by Jack at the best as highwaymen; so, when he found we still peppered away, and sailing two feet for our one, the schooner at length, in their desperation, hauled her wind, and speedily got beyond range of our carronades, having all this time never fired a shot.

Dandy highwaymen the best of adam and the ants rarity movie

~Release by Adam and the Ants(see all versions of this release, 1 available)

  • Adam And The Ants: 'I'm The Dandy Highwayman.' Adam Ant, AKA Stuart Goddard, emerged from the ashes of Punk and relaunched himself as the Dandy Highwayman of New Romantic pop. His image - hair ribbons, lip gloss, and the famous white line across the face, was stunning.
  • Larry's drums and Adam's bass come through surprisingly well. An excellent recording, especially considering its rarity. There is a very slight hiss in the background throughout the recording.'

    So soft on my bed
    • 'Don't Be Square (Be There)'
  • Live Album: Adam and the Ants Live at the Marquee 1978
  • Advertisement:
  • New Romantic: While musically closer to Glam Punk, their second incarnation was considered part of the scene.
  • Post-Punk: Dirk Wears White Sox is on the gloomier, artier side of British Punk.
  • Punk Rock: Were part of the British Punk scene in the late 70s, though Adam had his issues with it, stating in 'B-Side Baby':
    I think 'Punk' is an overused word, as a matter of fact
  • Shout-Out: Happens several times in their songs just before a guitar solo, where Adam will call out to guitarist Marco, or say for example, 'You'd better listen to Marco'.
  • Stage Names: Adam Ant AKA Stuart Leslie Goddard and Merrick AKA Chris Hughes.
  • Take That!: 'B-Side Baby' has one to Punk Rock and Joey Ramone:
    I think 'Punk' is an overused word, as a matter of fact
    I hate Joey Ramone when he says he's gonna beat on a-
    He's going to find himself down an alley with his face beaten flat
    And a spray job in bright pink letters, saying 'B-R-A-T spells'
  • Xtreme Kool Letterz:
    • All the Ants albums have 'ADAM' written as 'AⱭAM'
    • Very early in their career, mainly on singles and Dirk Wears White Sox, 'ANTS' is spelled 'ANTZ'.
