Adam Ant with 1983s Strip track .... Strip is the second solo album by Adam Ant released in 1983. It marked a decline in Adams success as it only reached no:65 in the US and no:20 in the UK. The lead single from the album was Puss n Boots which continued the pantomime themes and fashions of Ants earlier work. The single reached no:5 on the UK chart in 1983 and becoming Adams final UK top 10 hit although other top 20 hits would follow. The title track Strip was released as a single in 1984 and reached no:41 on the UK pop chart and no:42 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The cover photograph was fashioned after actress Jane Russells famous photo from Howard Hughess 1943 film The Outlaw. An extensive tour of the US was undertaken after the release. In Adams 2006 autobiography he mentions that the promoters and tour managers were incentivized with higher pay if the album hit the Top 40 in the US, It got to no:65. Some rough performances of the tour can be found on YouTube. It was the biggest American tour of Adams career with dates in many cities and was famous for the showmanship involved this included a vine covered bridge suspended above the audience, and a Houdini style immersion tank which Adam would jump in and emerge from wearing only black shorts after stripping his stage costume off during the course of the show. Phil Collins plays drums on Puss n Boots and Strip. Singer Anni Frid Lyngstad of ABBA fame also performs the female spoken part on Strip. The album was re released in a remastered edition in 2005 with eight bonus tracks. In 2008 Strip was featured in the comedy film You Dont Mess with the Zohan and is featured on the soundtrack......
