This is too good to forget! Real music Ok i m 56 now but the man is so underrated Genius artist! He deserves better!His music still rocks on now in my opinion! Love it🥰🔥💃
Absolutely Blinding can never understand why Ligotage was never released played or on even included on Dirk!??? It's an absolute Banging track..So much more worthy of just being a fricking B side!!
I followed them all the way, it got silly, they were sold, but you can't ignore the early days, its just sooooo much better? Where did it all go wrong?
@@TimmyAndTammyScumbag indeed, even better sometimes. I’ve got a Peel Sessions of The Adverts doing most of Crossing The Red Sea and it’s better than the real album release!
Two singles with an option on an album. The second single was going to be Zerox (version 2) b/w Kick, both recorded at RAK Studios November '78 with Steve "Snips" Parsons producing and a flyer of the Antmanifesto packed in with every copy. (A-side not to be confused with the Broadhurst Gardens Decca demo of Zerox from Aug '78 as featured on Madam Stan and In Bondage.)
@@kurtvanderbogarde8402 I didnt know that. Thanks for the info. I wonder if they'd stayed with Decca if Dirk LP would have been different...or even released
@@lastoftheurgents1965 Well there are the Decca recordings and they're a lot more like the Ants at a live gig than Dirk was, with a big heavy dirty Matthew guitar sound and stompy drums rather than the trebly tappy sound on Dirk. Dirk was a failed attempt at doing a soul/funk/disco styled album. The late '79 SGS demos (Secret Art, Killer, Henry & His Baby etc) are a rather better attempt.
@@kurtvanderbogarde8402 You're right. I guess I'm using Young Parisians as a starting point which seems a sort of throwaway gimmick song in comparision to say Red Scab. Its not always easy capturing a bands sound in the studio form what they sound like live as anyone who's listened to the Southern Death Cult LP will hopefully agree. cheers
@@lastoftheurgents1965 Young Parisians is a song about voyeurism ("just to see what the French Boys do to you"). It got played live for a while in mid '78 and there are at least two versions on live tapes. Adam wanted the band to be unpredictable and putting out a 3 chord fast punk song would have been too much what people expected from the Ants.
Never back two horses in the national, some other one will win and you waste twice as much money, unless you were going 50p E.W. then I'll let you off John
Yeah, well last Grand National I went well deep with it. I had these 2 horses I was going to put £5 on to win and £2.50 each way on as well, and put £1 each way on like 8 others to balance it all out. I forgot to put the £5 too win on the horse that won because too occupied by the others. They both came 1st and 2nd. I threw away my £50 I should've won. So angry about it.
