message: I think the image on this page ought to be the original monochrome Do-It cover, which is now reproduced on many of the CD reissues. The current image is from the US version(s). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.100.248.6 (talk) 16:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Both versions can be on the page... the second one can be labeled as "The original Do-It cover" or something like that.   In other words, I believe they should both be represented. - Antmusic 18:47, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

If we are talking about the song, it is fine... if we are talking about the album, it needs to look like this:

message: I've deleted all references to the CBS/Epic 1983 version being remixed as it is a complete myth put about by reviewers at the time.  All the mixes are the same as on the original Do It discs 80.249.48.108 (talk) 18:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

message: My apologies—I am not a music historian or a frequent Wikipedia contributor and I cannot devote the time to this sort of research; but this entry is woefully deficient. It lacks all discussion of the record's creation—inspiration, songwriting, recording, and anything to do with the music industry that midwifed "Dirk". It lacks discussion of the record's release, exposure, and charting in places other than Britain. It lacks significant context on what Ant and the band were doing in the period immediately preceding and succeeding the record's release (I'm not sure how you can say the group "disbanded after the album was released" without mentioning Malcolm McLaren). The "Reception" subhead should actually discuss how the record was received by the public and the critics, not (or not merely) how it was assessed "retrospectively" by a single critic years later.

replies: text: Most of this content you request belongs on the Adam and the Ants article, not this one.  It's someone's first album so as is usual there wasn't much in the way of creation of a solid body of work, just a compilation of stuff that was getting played live at the shows (most of it fairly recent stuff except for Cleopatra.)  As far as anyone knows it never did chart anywhere other than in Britain.  Another poster has pointed out that it was the number 1 in the first ever Indie Charts, however it did not touch the mainstream UK Album Chart until Feb 1981, largely off the back of the success of the follow-up Kings album its and associated singles. 86.138.4.86 (talk) 11:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
