WOMEN swooned and grown men wore make-up when Adam and The Ants burst on to the Eighties' music scene.

Two decades on, it is great to revisit Ant music which sounds as fresh as ever.

The best track, Prince Charming, will have you reaching for your white face paint in seconds.

Close behind come Stand And Deliver, Puss 'N Boots and Goody Two Shoes, which stand out as great individual songs but still have the unique sound of Adam Ant. There are also a few forgotten treasures, notably Strip and Apollo 9.

But this 22-track compilation doesn't get away without including a couple of clangers, such as the awful Deutscher Girls and Friend Or Foe.

Definitely one for the collection, if you fancy a taste of the Eighties, even if you never stood or delivered.
