Duplication of information?

This article is more about Adam Ant himself than about the pop group Adam and the Ants. Indeed his recent arrest on gun charges is mentioned here and not under Adam Ant. Perhaps the two pages should be merged?

Re-structured?

What does the reference to a "re-structured" band mean? The only "re-structuring" Adam and The Ants went through in the 1980s was when Kevin Mooney was replaced by Gary Tibbs. This happened after the release of Kings of the Wild Frontier and was the band member bass guitarist for Stand and Deliver and subsequent hits including the album "Prince Charming".

Remasters

2004 saw the re-release of the album "Prince Charming" as "digitally remastered" and with bonus material in the form of previously unreleased demo and writing tape songs. Interestingly, the credits for the re-release go to, amongs others, two former members of the Ants, namely Marco Pironni and drummer Chris Hughes.

Dirk Wears White Sox and Kings were also released. And Chris Hughes (Merrick) was brought in to help remaster the albums by Marco because he produced the original albums. Marco oversaw the whole project. Adam was either uninterested or unavailable due to recovering from his illness to be involved, and more than likely happy to let Marco take control of the project anway (Marco also oversaw the release of HITS in 1986).

NOTE: GET your facts right before editing this page PLEASE! Stand and deliver was 5 weeks at No.1 in 1981 and NOT 3! In addition, Prince Charming was at No.1 for 4 weeks and not 3! Thank you!

She wasn't a member of the Bromley Contingent, she lived in Seaford and travelled from there to London for a while to work in the SEX shop before living in London. I removed the Bromley Contingent bit. God knows where people get their "information" from when editing these pages. It pays to actually KNOW what you're talking about surely sometimes.......
