Touch and Go was released as a single from the Emerson Lake & Powell album. It is a great song that was later re-recorded by the original line-up with Palmer and that remake was included on the Return of the Manticore box set. The song was also often played live on the band's late 90's tours and have been included on several live albums.

The b-side on this single is Learning to Fly, also taken from the same 1986 album. That's it for the 7" version, but the single was also available in a 12" version that included a third track (c-side). This is a non-album track and it is an instrumental cover of The Loco-Motion. It has subsequently been included as a bonus track on some versions of the album and is good fun for fans of the band. Until fairly recently I was unaware of the existence of this track and also Vacant Possession, another Emerson Lake & Powell track that didn't make it onto the original album.
