FLASH-FLASH

FLASH IS A PROGRESSIVE ENGLISH ROCK BAND WITH A ONE HIT WONDER "SMALL BEGINNINGS"AND FRONTED BY EX-YES GUITARIST PETER BANKS AND KEYBOARDIST TONY KAYES. THEIR MUSIC IS UNDENIABLE AND TYPICAL YES. IF YOU LIKE YES YOU WILL LIKE FLASH, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. THERE ARE LOTS OF LENGTHY INSTRUMENTAL SECTIONS WITH THE WONDERFUL POWER BASS PLAYING BY RAY BENNETT. THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED IN 1972 UNDER THE SOVEREIGN LABEL. MY FAVE SONG IS "SMALL BEGINNINGS" A CHEERFUL AND ENERGETIC SONG IN THE VEIN OF THE YES SONG "YOURS IS NO DISGRACE"
