The Shades - Wanna Make Love (1980)

   Anyone here happen to have this single? 

It was a Billboard Recommended Single Pick in the May 31, 

1980 issue, one of the most obscure picks of the 80s so 

far. The Shades were a popular local Boston-area band of 

the time and opened for B-52s, Robert Palmer, and the 

Talking Heads, per a few news articles I could find.

It's the only release on Discogs by the Shades, and one 

of only two releases by the label, Bayshore, with no 

copies for sale, and no trace of the tune online 

anywhere.

I've been posting on every 80s chart single and pick 

across the trades (on Bluesky at 

@every80spopsong.bsky.social and on Threads at 

@every80sbillboardpopsong)

and this is only the second time I cannot track down 

audio for a pick. Appreciate any leads.
