Antics in the Forbidden Zone

The video release, published by Sony Music Distribution, collects twelve music videos both from the band and from Ant's solo career. Missing are early videos prior to Adam and the Ant's signing to Epic ("Zerox," for example) and "Dog Eat Dog." In the case of "Dog Eat Dog," concert footage was used rather than the Top of the Pops performance from 16 October 1980 that had been licensed to CBS, and had been used as the official music video up to that point.
