The Very Best Of Adam & The Ants

Zoverstocks ARE NOT "VERY GOOD". READ ON...Stated CD quality is dubious from the stated "Very Good". Six CD's ordered together late Saturday night/Sunday morning. Expected all six to e sent together. Got one after a few days, the other five arrived together in a pack that would have held six, go figure? Duran Duran CD a lot of minor scratches plays fine (not very good). Howard Jones CD some minor scratches plays fine (suitable for very good). Aerosmith CD is very good with the jewel case protected by it's card outer sleeve. Madness CD has quite few minor scratches but has one major one. So far it plays ok but I have not listened to all tracks fully. has cracked jewel case. Human league CD again some scratches and cracked jewel case. The last CD was Adam Ant, cracked jewel case again, but what the hell was on the CD. Imagine a teething child with food in one hand and this cd in the other. Give it half an hour and the child has eaten food, sucked cd, repeat process, child confused tries to eat cd, eats more food, repeats process a few times, parent finds child removes cd and places back in jewel case as is and zoverstocks send it to me. Cd was covered in food both sides with dried liquid/saliva. I could not tell condition of cd surface as I could not see it. I had to wash the cd to remove the deposits and it was left to air dry. After drying the cd has many surface scratches (or teeth marks if I am right) but no serious ones hence as far as I can tell it plays fine. Considering the enormous variation in quality, the "Very Good" statement should be taken with a pinch of salt. It should be replaced with pot luck or plays fine (baby food excluded of coarse). Had to post service review here on the items as it is too long for a seller review.

A blast back in time when it was perfectly acceptable for men to dress as pirates with make up and ribbons in your hair.The CD showcases all the material from 1978 to 1985 when Adam and his merry men were at the peak of the charts. It has the early hits of young Parisians and car trouble from the fading punk era and then onto the more flamboyant style with classics like Antmusic, stand and deliver, prince charming and Kings of the wild frontier. There were some bizarre songs like Ant Rap but weirdly it did work with the heavy bass and the signature double drum sound.The band did split but the Adam ant and Marco Pironni still continued and Adam had a great start to his solo career with Goody two shoes, apollo 9 and puss 'n' boots. The CD features 22 tracks with 12 from the band days and 10 solo Adam tracks. A good mixture but feel his early stuff (Dirk wears white sox and Kings of Wild Frontier albums) was overlooked more in favour of the latter material.Overall, a good mix for those who were unaware of this dandy highwayman.

22 classics ,you carnt go wrong .

Bought this as we're hopefully off to see Adam live this year.Fast delivery. Cd case slightly broken but cd plays fine.

Excellent

Living my youth again

Oh dear oh dear. I popped this in the CD player and listened to 'Stand And Deliver' again with great pleasure, and cast my eye down the track listing on the back of the jewel case. '*Adam Ant solo tracks' marked against 8 of the tracks, including 'Goody Two Shoes' and 'Puss 'N' Boots'? Hmm. Listened to them, and although the ones so marked are OK, they're not what we were listening to originally pop-pickers :-(So only three stars, because when I buy something calling itself 'The Very Best of Adam and the Ants', I expect it to be Adam AND the Ants on all tracks. Which it ain't.
