Flash - Flash (expanded/remastered)
SKU
23-ESOTERIC 2166
First and best album by this very fondly remembered offshoot of early Yes, featuring guitarist Peter Banks and organist Tony Kaye. A very good Yes-related album that has a lot of stylistic similarities to early Yes and comes by those similarities honestly. This hasn't been available in a long time and this is definitely the best-sounding version of this that's ever been made.
"Upon his departure from Yes following the release of the album Time and a Word , guitarist Peter Banks formed this excellent progressive outfit featuring Ray Bennett(bass, guitar), Colin Carter (vocals) and Mike Hough (drums). Signing to the Sovereign label in the UK, Flash recorded their eponymous debut album in 1972 and were joined by another ex-YES member, Keyboard player Tony Kaye whose skill graced the entire album. This re-mastered reissue includes the rare single version of Small Beginnings as a bonus track and is certain to appeal to the legions of Yes fans and lovers of classic and progressive rock."
