b/c i am beginning to think that "touch (part 3)" is one of the greatest dance songs ever.

was John Rocca involved at some point? I got a John Rocca 12" called Touch in the same sleeve as a Secession 12".

OMG! I used to see that 12" in record shops for eons! I don't know if I ever heard it, actually.

three weeks pass...

I found their 1984 "Fire Island" 12" while flipping through vinyl in a shop yesterday, decided to put it on the turntable in there and liked it enough to buy it. I'm gonna try to find "Touch" now. I found a discography for them here:

My 12" says "mixed by John Rocca". Band members are listed as Peter Thompson (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Carole Branston (vocals, keyboards), Charlie Kelly (vocals, synthesizer, percussion).

I found a copy of a Secession LP last week. I haven't played it yet, but I will soon.

Oh nice! They only have the one album and a half dozen singles
