Torch Song debuted as a trio on Wish Thing, an ethereal set of instrumentally subtle synth-dance tracks, given most of their character by Laurie Mayer's delicate voice and the gimmicky production. "Don't Look Now" and "Sweet Thing" are appealing, airy concoctions; a demento version of "Ode to Billy Joe" seems calculated to shock and/or offend but is nonetheless amusing. Intriguing.

Thank you, thank you very much!!! My vinyl LP is so badly scratched. I've been looking for this for a MILLION years, as Gollum said: "my precioussss". Thank you very much.
