Adam and The Ants - The Very Best Of Adam & The Ants: Stand & Deliver (2006)

Released in 2006, The Very Best of Adam & The Ants: Stand & Deliver is a highly-rated anthology. It is praised by fans and critics alike for capturing the band's signature theatrical energy, vibrant new wave hooks, and driving dual-drummer sound. 
The collection brings together beloved hits like "Stand and Deliver," "Antmusic," and "Prince Charming."
The Music: The compilation serves as a perfect time-capsule of early 80s "Dandy Pop" and the New Romantic era. 
Reviewers consistently highlight the irresistible, driving rhythm sections and Adam Ant's charismatic vocal delivery. 
It balances fun, danceable tracks with the band's more theatrical and eccentric aesthetics.
The Package: Many physical releases of this edition came as a two-disc set (CD and DVD). 
Fans highly rate the bonus DVD, which features a massive collection of 20+ music videos along with an exclusive 83-minute retrospective documentary, "Stand & Deliver: The Documentary," which explores Adam Ant’s personal history and creative process.
Legacy: While some critics note that the band's highly visual, pirate-themed outfits and comical styling can feel somewhat a product of the MTV generation, the songs themselves remain incredibly tight, timeless representations of 1980s pop and post-punk.
