More of the band’s early material was re-released in the first half of 1982. Polydor reissued the two songs for the Jubilee in February as a seven-inch (18 cm) single with “Deutscher Girls” as the A-side; this single reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart, giving the original Ants a second post-breakup hit. Do It! records released The Antmusic EP , a 12-inch (30 cm) Extended Play (EP) of three unused tracks from the Dirk sessions and a remix of “Cartrouble (Parts 1 & 2)”; the EP peaked at number 46. In early 1982, Adam and the Ants won British Album of the Year for Kings of the Wild Frontier at the BRIT Awards where they were also nominated for Best British Group and twice in the Best British Single category for “Prince Charming” and “Stand and Deliver”. They were also nominated for Best New Artist at the 24th Annual Grammy Awards in 1982. Ant and Pirroni also received the Songwriter of the Year Award for “Stand and Deliver” at the 27th Ivor Novello Awards in April 1982.
