This, from Wikipedia:
"Desperate But Not Serious" is a song by Adam Ant, released on 19 November 1982 as the third single from his first solo album, Friend or Foe. It peaked at number 33 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.
"Why Do Girls Love Horses?" It was fairly common for Ant to record new versions of his pre-1980 compositions for the B-side of his singles. For this single, an old Ant song from 1978 was used. Ant first recorded the song as a four track home demo in July 1978 while living in London's Notting Hill Gate. The song remained unused until this particular version was recorded in 1982.
Given to the seller by Marco Pirroni circa 1985. Unplayed by the seller. (Only by Ant and/or Pirroni?)
