Adam And The Ants – Stand And Deliver! (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1981

“Stand and Deliver” is a song by English new wave band Adam and the Ants, released as the lead single from their third studio album, Prince Charming (1981). It was the band’s first No. 1 hit in the UK. The phrase “stand and deliver – your money or your life”, used in the lyrics, is commonly associated with highwaymen in 18th century England.

Adam and the Ants’ previous single, “Antmusic”, debuted on the UK Singles Chart on 6 December 1980. It spent nine weeks in the top 10, peaking at No. 2, but was denied the No. 1 position by the re-release of John Lennon’s “Imagine” after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980.

“Stand and Deliver” became the band’s first No. 1 when it debuted at the top spot on 9 May 1981, and remained there for five weeks. It has sold 1.03 million copies in the UK. On the US Dance chart, “Stand and Deliver” peaked at #38.

Copies of the single “Stand and Deliver” b/w “Beat My Guest” were included as a free bonus item with some vinyl copies of the US version of the album Kings of the Wild Frontier on Epic Records. Epic’s cassette edition appended the two tracks to each end of either side of the tape. A slightly different version of “Stand and Deliver” was then featured on their follow-up LP, Prince Charming, released in November 1981.

“Beat Ny Guest”

It was fairly common for Ant to record new versions his pre-1980 compositions for the B-side of his singles. For this single, an old Ant song dating back at least to May 1977 was used. “Beat My Guest” was the first song Adam and the Ants played at their official debut gig at the Institute of Contemporary Arts restaurant on 10 May 1977. A full band recording was made in the same 14 July 1977 Chappell Studios recording session that had produced the version of Plastic Surgery featured in Derek Jarman’s film Jubilee. The version on the B-Side of this single was recorded in August 1980 during sessions for the Kings of the Wild Frontier album and featured the band’s previous bass player Kevin Mooney.

Adam & The Ants – Antmusic (UK 7″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1980

“Antmusic” is a song by Adam and the Ants, released as the third single in the UK in 1980 from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier (released 3 November 1980).

“Antmusic” peaked at No. 2 in the UK in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon’s “Imagine” after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980.

The music video to “Antmusic” featured the group playing in a discothèque with a giant juke box, and persuading the young audience to turn away from disco music and dance to the new-styled ‘Ant-Music’. The music video was directed by Steve Barron.

The single spent five weeks at No. 1 in Australia, and earned the band platinum certification for sales of over 100,000. Adam and the Ants toured Australia in 1981 and appeared on influential TV pop show Countdown.

Although some overseas singles include the 3:36 album version, the original UK vinyl 7″ single is 3:15. This short version has never appeared on CD to date.
