Music\/Legacy Recordings will release\u00a0newly remastered <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Kings Of The Wild Frontier in<\/span><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0stunning super deluxe boxset edition, 2CD deluxe edition, LP and digital formats containing a wealth of unreleased and exclusive content on Friday May 20th.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Curated and

by Adam Ant, gold vinyl LP, gold CDs, replica original release Ant Catalogue, fan memorabilia, recreated artwork, poster, photos and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">In extensive liner notes Adam Ant tells us in his own words the story behind the record and the \u201cband of brothers in musical arms, who came together in the studio in 1980 to create a bit of magic\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The demise of the original Ants line up following the release of Dirk Wears White Sox in 1979 is well documented.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>What came next for Adam &amp; The Ants Mark 2 was an altogether new approach that would result in one of the most important British records of all time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Kings Of The Wild Frontier was the result of a fierce, determined and ultimately realised ambition to turn the music scene on its head, in Adam\u2019s own words, \u201cto be the best, in tune with and in line with no one\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">By 1980, the aftermath of the glory days of punk loomed large and grey over Britain and popular culture.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>As Bowie and Bolan had done a decade earlier for the kids trying to shake off the disappointing hangover of their parents\u2019 Swinging Sixties, Adam &amp; The Ants threw off the old guard of black and grey and safety pins and sneer and remerged on to the music scene with an undefinable brand and sound all of their own.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Ant music! \u2018a new flavour\u2019\u2026\u2018a golden new royalty\u2019\u2026\u2019music for a future age\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p6\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The loss of his Ants and fan requests to \u2018play the old stuff\u2019 proved the catalyst for change.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Adam Ant says \u201ceverything till then had been black and white\u2026from now on there had to be colour, dash and fire \u2026 heroism\u2019\u2026\u2018we felt like heroes and here was the soundtrack to make others feel the same\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p6\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Three decades on and the heroic Kings Of The Wild Frontier remains as bold and magnificent as ever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">ADAM &amp; THE ANTS \u2018KINGS OF THE WILD FRONTIER\u2019 UK TOUR DATES<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span
