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.
