New Wave icons Adam and the Ants formed in 1977 with Adam and a group of friends who had met at Vivienne Westwood's iconic London fashion boutique, Sex. By 1980, their subversive, ground-breaking sound and iconic fashion had built up a large brigade of loyal fans. Between 1980 to 1982, Adam and The Ants released 3 albums, which all reached the top 10 of the UK Official Albums Chart, including the BRIT Award winning Kings of the Wild Frontier which held the number 1 spot for twelve weeks, and two Number 1 singles in the UK Official Singles Chart, 'Stand and Deliver' and 'Prince Charming'. Nearly 45 years later, on 20th October 2023, Decca Records will re-release a limited edition translucent 7"" of the Young Parisians single with it's B-side Lady, featuring the original artwork hand drawn by Adam Ant himself. Both singles will also be released digitally, the first time ever B-side Lady will be available digitally.
