The Complete Unexpurgated History of Adam Ant

June/July 2011 Issue 448

Now here's something I really love. This catalogue was given away with Mr Ant's second LP "Kings of the Wild Frontier". It has a wee bit of a FANZINE feel to it, and was something more than half decent outside of the usual channels of music journalism bullshit. It's the complete unexpurgated history of Adam Adam to date, with all the boring bits removed obviously. Why this sort of publication hasn't been replicated on mass by others since is unknown. [What? Radiohead's newspaper with "The King of Limbs"? Nah mate that's not the same thing at all.]

In this catalogue you have pics of badges, T shirts and records; and no ones selling you a thing (well other than subliminally). Epic! Those were the days. Of course if you bought the LP on cassette it was a bit of a shitter. You still got the catalogue but it was cassette sized. You had to put it in a sink full of water for it to hydrate into A4 size. Then hang it out to dry. And if you believe that you need to hang yourself out to dry you bleedin' drip. ENJOY.
