Lane Steinberg is one of my favorite pop geniuses. He was in the Wind, whose Where It's At With the Wind is THE great lost LP of the early 80s; he also released an amazing solo album under the name Noel Coward's Ghost. He is currently in a duo called Tan Sleeve, who have generated some notoriety for the song "Condoleeza Will Lead Us" from the forthcoming CD American Blood.

Wall of Orchids was yet another of Lane's disguises. This 45 was the only release on a very short-lived offshoot of the much-loved Bus Stop Label called Pop Look and Listen Records. (Anybody know the reference?) Although "Come Back To Me" is the B-side, it seems to me the stronger, with a beautiful Brian Wilson melody and one of the best vocal performances of Mr. Steinberg's career. There is also a more recent CD EP that contains this track plus four more very nice numbers as well. Highly recommended.
