Adam and the Ants made their radio debut on John Peel ‘s BBC Radio 1 show when they recorded a session on 23 January 1978 that included the songs ” Deutscher Girls “, “It Doesn’t Matter”, “Puerto Rican” and “Lou” – the latter of which featured the group’s manager Jordan on lead vocals, as she regularly did during live performances until 14 May 1978, when she left the band after a gig at Roundhouse . The day after the Peel Session, they re-recorded “Deutscher Girls” and overdubbed a new guitar break on the Chapells Studio version of “Plastic Surgery” at AIR Studios for the Jubilee soundtrack album, which was released later that year. The un-dubbed version can be heard in the film itself.
