The song appeared on their 1982 debut album Pelican West. The single reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart in November 1981[1] and was certified silver by the BPI for sales in excess of 200,000 copies.[2] CompositionThe song was written by group vocalist Nick Heyward. The writing credits of the B-side, "Boat Party", are attributed to Haircut One Hundred, although the song features guitar riff patterns similar to "Favourite Shirts". Both tracks were recorded at the Roundhouse Studios in Chalk Farm, London, soon after the band had signed to Arista. These recordings are the only ones to feature Pat Hunt, later replaced by Blair Cunningham, on drums.[3] Release and reception"Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" was released in October 1981 on 7" and 12" formats. Writing in the October 1981 issue of Smash Hits, critic Fred Dellar described the single as doing "for jazz-funk what Dexy's once did for R&B". He described it as a "slight" song, although "the musicianship is both impeccable and exciting".[4] Track listing
