"Move to the City" sits on G N' R Lies, the second Guns N' Roses album, which Geffen put out in November 1988, and its credits hold a surprise: horns. Leif Cole blows saxophone and Matthew McKagan adds trombone alongside the usual firepower, with Axl Rose singing lead, Slash and Izzy Stradlin on electric guitars, Duff McKagan on bass and Steven Adler on drums. All five share the writing credit with Chris Weber.
The band produced it themselves; Hanspeter Huber recorded it and mixed it with Alan Niven. Lies was a short, sharp record, at 33 and a half minutes the shortest studio album they ever made, and it was the last full album with Adler on drums, since he was gone by 1990, which also made it the final record by the five-piece.
