I Was a Fool In Love (also known as "I Was A Fool") is an unidentified new wave song first uploaded to the New Wave Outpost forums in 2012 by user Guglielm.
Background
On August 23rd, 2012, the song was first posted to the New Wave Outpost forums by user Guglielm as part of a collection of lost songs, but it did not gain much traction.[1]
On July 12th, 2013, the song was uploaded to WatZatSong by user Guglielm,[2] before being reuploaded on August 30th, 2014 to add that the song was possibly named In a Variety of Love, I Was a Fool.[3] Based on the OP's other found songs, this song was most likely recorded between 1980 and 1983, and recorded from the WFMU New Jersey radio station.[4]
The song was most likely written before December 1983, as WFMU's general manager, Ken Freedman, who joined WFMU in December 1983, was contacted and did not recognize the song.[3][5]
