Single release by Adam and the Ants issued to promote the band's third album Prince Charming (Nov. '81). The style is much the same as the second album - perhaps with more focus on new romantic and less on new wave. The single promised a fine new album and went to number #1 on the national singles chart, but when the album came out two months later that really only proved that this was one of only two fine songs from the new album. The B-side is better than most tracks on the forthcoming album but wasn't included. I had already heard the first single, "Stand and Deliver" from the upcoming album, and found that a great tune, so I just bought this.
