This CD was a godsend, allowing me to stock up on all the Adam & the Ants songs that I loved from the early MTv days, as well as some of Adam's finer solo material. (Although it's missing "Physical (You're So)", which has been covered by Nine Inch Nails.) There are a few groaners here, particularly the weird early songs (recorded before A&TA developed their signature dual-drum sound), and the last few songs really suck as well. The Strip songs were produced by Phil Collins.
