Release Calendar

Kings of the Wild Frontier remains a pivotal album in post-punk history, as well as a major turning point for Ant himself.  Kings topped the British charts and became 1981’s biggest-selling album, thanks to the Top 5 hits “Dog Eat Dog” and “Antmusic.” (The title track, released as a single before either, would also go Top 5 upon re-release.)  Adam Ant is in full control here, sharing mastering credits with engineer Walter Coelho, selecting the bonus audio content (including three B-sides, four unreleased demos and a full show recorded in Chicago in 1981) and penning the set’s liner notes. A super-deluxe box adds a DVD packed with rare footage, including videos, BBC clips and a rare, pro-shot show in Tokyo released on VHS and laserdisc decades ago) as well as the original album on gold vinyl.
