Today we have Adam and the Ants, "Kings of the Wild Frontier" on Epic JE37033; released in 1980.
This is their second of three albums, a really good punk/new wave album with some very effective double drumming..listen to it on the title track.

Another garage sale purchase in VG+ condition (media and cover). Not a lot of value but good music, and an influential album in the post punk, new wave style.  Dog Eat Dog, Antmusic, Kings of the Wild Frontier all charted.





In 1982 Adam and the Ants split and Adam went on to record as a solo artist.  "Friend of Foe" is the first of his solo projects.  Also on Epic, FE 38370 (in North America, CBS in UK) released in '82. Produced Something Girls, Goody Two Shoes (probably his biggest hit), the new wave rockabily Place in the Country, an interesting cover of the Doors Hello, I Love You.

VG+ media and cover; from same collection as above.








Staying in the 80's, we have Bryan Adams "cuts like a knife" on A&M  SP 4919 from 1983. His third studio album. Huge success for Bryan Adam, especially in North America.  Who hasn't heard Take Me Back, Straight From the Heart, Cuts Like a Knife or The Best Was Yet to Come...

Following this with Reckless his 1983 release that made him an internationally recognized artist.  I have two copies of this album A&M SP5013, one on red vinyl, both from second had stores for less the $2.00 and in VG+ condition for media and cover.

One Night Love Affair, Summer of '69, Run to You, Somebody, Heaven, Its's Only Love all became top 15 hits.

I like Kids Wanna Rock and Long Gone as well.
