4501 - PAUL PAYTON: Boys Like Girls / Relate 2 U
.... Recorded and released in May, 1985. A-side features famous Nashville writer and guitarist Al Anderson, formerly of NRBQ and The Wildweeds, in an uncredited performance. This may be the rarest NRBQ-related record as only 700 copies were pressed, mostly distributed around New England and New York. A-side is straight-ahead '80s contemporary rock and roll with some 50’s group-harmony influences. Unique octave vocals on B-side. Long out of print, the Osborne price guide values “VG” copies at $3.00 to $5.00.
