Antmusic: The Very Best of Adam Ant is a greatest hits compilation album from Adam Ant that covers his early work with Adam and the Ants as well as his solo work.
This greatest hits package reached number six on the UK album chart The corresponding VHS, with all the music videos to the classic Ant/Ants hits, also charted very well on the UK video charts.
The first CD covers all of the UK Singles Chart hits from Adam Ant's career (with and without the Ants) from 1980–1990, beginning with Young Parisians & the earliest Dirk Wears White Sox singles from Do It Records (which were re-released once the Ants found fame and charted in the UK Top 40), and ending with the charting singles from his then most recent album, Manners & Physique - "Room at the Top" and "Can't Set Rules About Love".
The second CD is a live recording of a private concert held on 21 February 1993 at a rehearsal studio in Burbank, Los Angeles. This show was a warm-up for a tour to promote the (then-upcoming) release of his shelved album, Persuasion.
Although Ant has released concert videos/DVDs, live bonus CD single tracks (on the 1995 single Gotta Be A Sin) and a live CD of a 2007 reading of his biography including acoustic versions of some of his songs, this CD remains the only full length audio-only live album of a concert with a full band that Ant has ever issued.
