Sunday Album Club Adam and the Ants / Dirk wears white sox (1979) 

Track: Xerox

Am 30.11.1979 erscheint das Debütalbum von Adam and the Ants welches den merkwürdig anmutenden Namen Dirk wears white sox trägt. Dirk wears white sox ist nun beileibe kein Vorzeigealbum weder des in 1979 noch Punk getriebenen New Wave noch des next big thing – New Romantik - dessen erster Pin up star Adam Ant (aka Stuart Lesley Goddard) nur wenige Monate später wird. Die meisten Tracks auf Dirk wears white sox wirken unausgegoren, zeigen aber die Richtung auf, in welche Adam Ant die Band zumindest bis zu ihrem abrupten Ende in 1982 extrem erfolgreich entwickelt. Der Einfluss von Punk Mastermind Malcolm McLaren dringt noch an allen Ecken durch den Sound der Ants. Dirk wears white sox erscheint auf dem Independent Label Do it record und erreicht im Januar 1980 ein echtes Alleinstellungsmerkmal: um den wild florierenden Indie-Labels in UK endlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu ermöglichen, werden ab Januar 1980 erstmals die Indie Singles – und Albumcharts gelistet. Beide massiv von einschlägigen Musikmagazinen wie dem Melody Maker und dem NME beworben, sind diese die Plattform der in den Eighties und Ninties insbesondere in UK extrem erfolgreichen Indie- Szene. Lüften wir den Schleier – in der ersten Ausgabe der UK Indie Album Charts vom 19.01.1980 stand Dirk wears white sox auf Platz 1. Die Top Position der ersten UK Indie Singles Charts ging übrigens an Where´s Captain Kirk von Spizz Energi.

Wenn Sie sich näher mit Adam and the Ants beschäftigen wollen, kommen Sie an den Alben Kings of the wild frontier (1980) und Prince Charming (1981) nicht vorbei. Doch als Ausdruck des Zeitgeistes und wegen einzelner Stücke – allen voran Xerox – sollten Sie Dirk wears white sox nicht ganz außer Acht lassen.

Tracks: Catholic Day, Xerox und Car trouble

Born in Marylebone, London, Ant began his musical career playing bass in the band Bazooka Joe. From 1977 to 1982 he performed with Adam and the Ants and their debut album Dirk Wears White Sox (1979) reached number one on the UK Independent Albums Chart. Prior to recording his second album as Adam and the Ants, he asked producer Malcolm McLaren to manage his band, who instead took his backing band to form Bow Wow Wow. Ant regrouped with new members, including Marco Pirroni to release his second album Kings of the Wild Frontier (1980). It reached number one in the UK Album Chart, spawned three hit singles and the album was the UK number one selling album in 1981 (and the 48th best seller in 1980) and won Best British Album at the 1982 Brit Awards. He released his third and final album with the group, Prince Charming (1981), which spawned two UK number one singles "Stand and Deliver" and "Prince Charming".
