I had so much fun doing this as it presented a totally new challenge! You could call this the world's first remix of a megamix?  Gawp (Gary Pearce) first created this megamix back in the 80's using his cassette player's PAUSE button to link the tracks together. In fact, I started off home mixing the very same way. But Gawp's edits were first class and well thought out. The only problem, due to being recorded onto audio cassette, was the sound quality. So I jumped at the chance of re-creating his masterpiece when asked! Recreating Gawp's edits were a mean task, but with some smooth mixing, we have one hell of an Ant Megamix that beats the other two (non-Carty) megamixes hands down! It took approx 11 hours (one night) to create...hence the mix's name (also it's the name of Gawp's band)!

Here's the track listing: Dog Eat Dog, Puss 'n Boots, Ant Rap, Apollo 9, Stand And Deliver, Cartrouble, Prince Charming, 'Antmusic', Kings Of The Wild Frontier, Friend Or Foe, Goody Two Shoes.

2. ADAM AND THE ANTS - PLASTIC SURGERY (Italian Job Remix) 04:57
Go to the Carty Mixes Volume 4 download page (free log in required)

Adam And The Ants - Plastic Surgery (Live Marquee 1978)  (In Bondage bootleg CD)
Adam And The Ants - Tabletalk (drums only) (Do It)
Adam And The Ants - Plastic Surgery (Jubilee) (EG Records))
Toyah - I Am (outro only) (Safari)

I was so determined to do something with this tune! Not only is it constantly in my all time Top 5 Ant tunes, but its tempo changes neatly matched my mood swings at the time!

The difficult part was having to treat this as 2 separate songs due to the slow tempo (57 BPM) of part one and the speedier (157 BPM) second part! With the Tabletalk drums taking care of the slow section and some drum and bass loops (Yes, that's right!) to spice up the fast bit, I was just left with that small middle section to deal with! That was some headache....but thanks to Toyah's Anthem LP, she finished off one hell of an eyebrow raising remix!

(Actually...it wasn't Toyah who finished it off...it was Michael Caine who did the honours! But you'll have to download it to hear it!)

Adam Ant - Playboy (Strip) - CBS/Sony
Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy (Drums only) - RCA

This track is widely believed to had been the 3rd single from Strip, so temptation got the better of me! I almost threw in the towel on this as it was such a frustrating mix to execute! The Bow Wow Wow drums were drowning out poor Adsy's tune, and when adjustments were made, the drums were too quiet! After a few dozen litres of water, a happy medium was found at last! The main song itself has not changed too drastically (if at all), but it was most definitely worth the effort!

Adam Ant - Apollo 9 (Splashdown Remix) - CBS/Sony
Adam Ant - Apollo 9 (Orbit Remix) - CBS/Sony
Adam Ant - Apollo 9 (Splashdown Dub Mix) - CBS/Sony
Adam And The Ants - Fall In (intro sampled) - CBS/Sony
Adam And The Ants - 5 Guns West (Prince Charming) - CBS/Sony
Adam Ant - Apollo 9 (Blast Off Mix) - CBS/Sony
Adam Ant - Apollo 9 (Acappella) - CBS/Sony

Another frustratingly irritating mix towards the end, but 98% of the time I loved doing it! There are elements of all the various Apollo 9 mixes thrown in...but where's Adam's "10...9...8...7...6...5" countdown? I used the countdown from Fall In and a sample from 5 Guns West for that! It's different to the original, but sticking to the song's structure. Watch out for a guest appearance by Neil Armstrong.

Adam Ant - Place In The Country (LP version) - CBS/Sony

You can blame Seedy for this one. At his annual birthday bash, he was about to play an Ant DVD, but there was no sound coming from it. So, he puts on the Friend Or Foe LP. It had been ages since I had heard it and I announced that he would attempt a full album megamix of this great recording. This is the result!

So....was this my final mix (ever?)...

You're not seeing double! This is an instrumental remix of track 3, and because I loves the I Want Candy drums so much, I created this 2nd 'remix', which basically takes out Playboy altogether, leaving the BWW drums. I personally loves this mix, but as to whether it warranted being labelled Playboy or inclusion on Volume 4 is another thing!
