Songs that you forgot you loved... (2 Viewers)

[Lili Marlene]

'One Way Or Another' is a great tune, 'Call Me' is a bit disco. 'Picture This' is indeed great.

Damn right it is, that's why it's the best of the three by a mile

"You've got damp on your lids and you'd be on the skids if weren't for your job at the garage if you could only oh woah oh..." - impeccable vocals, melody, musicianship.....I love the way it ends on a minor chord too.

I will investigate this in an attempt to understand

I have very very distant memories of this playing on a radio in our kitchen when I was a kid, and me and my sisters dancing around to it, with sausages stuck on the end of forks.

Studio albums

• After Here Through Midland (1987)

When Your Heart Is Weak and Thought You Were On My Side were also out around the same time.

Getting the single version of The Promise You Made on CD wasn't straightforward. Had to go for this in the end

have you got the single version of Antmusic on cd? I think it was only released on some very obscure compilations.

or maybe massively successful compilations for all I know.

I don't think it's ever come out.

I have the 7". It's about 3.15 and fades.

On CD I've got it on

Now That's What I Call Music Millennium Series: 1980 [uses album version which is about 20/22 seconds longer]
Now That's What I Call Music: Smash Hits [uses that longer alternate take 4:14]
Ant Box [uses a 4:05 take]

All Adam Ant comps seem to use the album version.

German and Dutch compilation series [like High Life / De Pre Historie / Super Power / Musikladen Eurotops] are quite fussy about releasing the 45 / single versions on CD so for tracks from 1984 onwards they're a good source. Likewise for the Dutch variants of the Now and Hits series but these petered out by 1989.
