Flash is the self-titled debut studio album by British band Flash, released in February 1972 by Sovereign Records.
ResponderEliminarGuitarist Peter Banks played with several bands before forming Flash, including The Nighthawks in 1963, The Devil's Disciples in 1964, The Syndicats in 1965 and then The Syn with Chris Squire on bass in 1965.
He then joined Mabel Greer's Toyshop which would be the basis of Yes in 1966, again with Chris Squire, but briefly left to join a band called Neat Change and recorded a single, "I Lied to Aunty May"/"Sandman", with Peter Frampton playing guitar on side A while Banks played on side B.
He then rejoined Mabel Greer's Toyshop, who became Yes. He left them after their second album, Time and a Word in 1970 to form Flash. Their bassist Ray Bennett played with another band prior to Flash called The Breed which included Bill Bruford on drums.
ResponderEliminarFLASH was formed in late 1971. It was Colin Carter (vocals) who contacted Peter Banks to form a new band together. Peter was going through his gray period and after his previous experiences with bands wasn’t too keen on getting another one started. But after writing “Small Beginnings” together, Peter shopped the demo around and landed a deal. The next task was to find the right musicians, which proved to be more work than it seemed. It was Peter who thought up the band name, and once Ray Bennett (on bass) and Mike Hough (on drums) would combine forces – they would become FLASH. Deciding against using a keyboardist, Peter ultimately developed an exciting guitar style and created Flash’s special sound. They released 3 albums in just 2 years before calling it a day in November 1973.
