Young Parisians

“Young Parisians“ was the debut single from Adam and the Ants, released by Decca Records on 20 October 1978. The A-side “Young Parisians“ was an acoustic cabaret-style number, while the B-side, “Lady“ demonstrated the band’s capacity for fast-paced punk rock. It was produced by the band’s singer Adam Ant and session pianist Jo Julian. At this point, the other permanent members of the band were Matthew Ashman (guitar), Dave Barbarossa (drums) and Andy Warren (bass guitar). Saxophonist Greg Mason also appeared on the A-side.
