So very grateful to you Frank for this missing piece of the puzzle. I have posted these before: The Windbreakers - I'll Be Back EP 85 w Terminal LP 85 w Run LP 86 w At Home With Bobby And Tim LP 89 and it is also good to know that Tim from the band did this as well: Howard And Tim's PAID VACATION - I Never Met A Girl I Didn't Like EP 85. Cheers!

My pleasure, happy to help. There's a great, primitive, garagy tune on the Howard and Tims paid vacation called "That won't make you love me"
Its a smasher and one of my favorites! Thanks for the Comment!

Frank, Thanks for all of these posts of great bands I never heard! I had to get down to this Windbreakers post to finally find a 45 I had. I have fond memories of seeing this band multiple times in DC and New Orleans. They were always a great group of guys. This first single by them was always one of my favorites.
