Today (October 11th) marks the thirtieth anniversary release of Friend or Foe, the first solo album by Adam Ant after disbanding his former group earlier in 1982.

As for me, since I don't drink and don't smoke, I plan to celebrate by giving this one a spin.

Adam Ant - Friend or Foe

After a third album and disbanding Adam and the Ants in early 1982, Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard) went out as a solo artist. His first, and most successful to date, solo album was Friend or Foe which was released October 11th, 1982.  It went to number 5 in the UK.

Thanks to the growing market of music videos on MTV, he was able crossover to the US and gain a larger following. Here in the States, the album went all the way to number 16 on the Billboard 200. The record was certified Gold in both the UK and the US.
