(1982)|"Introducing Payola$" is the four-song EP with which the
Payola$ made their major label debut onA&M Records . The album notes from the back of the original release read thus: "Figuring prominently in Vancouver's new wave, PAYOLA$ first recorded CHINA BOYS in the summer of '79 and released 1,000 copies on SLOPHOUSE RECORDS. The ridiculously upbeat song about the Westernization of The People's Republic, with its irreverent Oriental motif [,] proved irresistible and became an underground favourite setting new standards of production for local 'basement' recording.Payola$ have done additional production work on CHINA BOYS. Their A&M debut also includes ROSE, T.N.T. and JUKEBOX. Their influences range from Bill Nelson to Stockhausen butPayola$ revolve around a love of rock music. TOM HARRISON"Track listing
