Adam Ant: Remastered

[gjkendall]

For some reason my DAB radio turned on this morning to Absolute80's rather than Talksport...the tune playing 'Antmusic' :clap:

What a great start to my day, it meant that I have dug an old 'best of' out....been playing it all day (and loud too)

I am now after the remastered albums...ideally in the box! Amazon have Marketplace sellers wanting silly money for it! :cry:

If the boxset is unobtainable, anywhere that has all the remastered in stock (and new)...Amazon seems to have a few, but the others are again Marketplace!

I think there are 7 albums I need to get...so anyone want to help an old Antfan out!:thumbs:

I want to say they came out in two chunks, so even though Amazon aren't showing the remastered artwork for F&F for example, it is the most recent version. They do appear to have the bulk of them in stock tho'.

Manners & Physique didn't form part of Sony's reissue series but it did come out last year via a diff label.

There were only 5000 of the box set produced.

One of the discs Redux is exclusive to the boxset and is made up of demos.

As douglasb has mentioned, the six albums that can be obtained are pretty much all there on Amazon for under a fiver, check the tracklists on things like Friend or Foe and they show the bonus tracks present on the remaster. Zavvi have them for a similar price so you should be able to source them all (less the boxset exclusive Redux) for less than £30.

Just ordered everything upto 'manners & physique'

cheers for the help chaps!

The Manners & Physique reissue arrived today!

Will have a butchers for a copy of Wonderful...I doubt EMI will reissue it.

He has a new album out soon (I think)...apparently the double a side was premiered the other month...I cannot find it to listen to anywhere!

You can hear one track here:

Haven't paid much attention, but the consensus seems to be that despite what he's told the press/radio he really just has a bunch of demos.

Well he's on a fairly substantial tour at the moment and says he has a new album but when I heard it's not actually due to be released until '2012' I did get a bit suspicious!

He was great live though - saw him in Glasgow last week.
