Quotations and trivia
- There apparently exists a completely different recording of this album, featuring Phil Kohn on bass and Jose Feliciano on acoustic guitar and backing vocals. This version of the album was rejected by the record company and also included several songs which remain today unreleased, including "Freefall", which had been performed live, and the song "I Broke My Leg in Yucca Valley, But I Left My Heart in Palm Springs" written by Phil Kohn.
- Sonja Kristina on Norma Tager, who wrote the lyrics for many of the songs on Midnight Wire:
"She and I became very close. I was very depressed over the breakup of my marriage, and that's why she wrote for me. She'd been a writer and had ghost-written things, screenplays, things like that. And you know sometimes when you're low you don't want to write, you're so miserable. So we wrote songs together. She wrote what I wanted to sing about, and I taught her how to put things into song form. So they were her lyrics, but the essence came from both of us."
