Crescendo

The legacy treatment of Adam Ant’s recordings that began in 2004 continues with the remastering, repackaging, and rereleasing the first three discs recorded following the breakup of the Ants. Guitarist/co-songwriter Marco Pirroni is the sole surviving Ant, remaining loyally by Adam’s side. Unfortunately, as with the first three titles in this reissue program (see story here), these titles are only available in Europe. A US release is possible but as of yet has not been announced. The titles in this batch are, of course, Friend Or Foe, Strip, and Vive Le Rock. Additionally, a limited edition boxed set with a bonus disc, Redux, has been released. (More on that later.) These new editions contain additional rare and unreleased tracks, complete lyrics, and period photography.
