Does anyone remember them? I bought one of their albums in the seventies because of Peter Banks and the tron and boy, was I disappointed. Very derivative of the current prog of the time and complete with lyrics about Knights and fair maidens and all that Nottingham crap. Obviously taking a page from early Gabriel. Oh BTW, the previous two sentences are constructed very poorly.

Hi Fritz et all, "FLASH" eh ? I sure do! Their debut album with a (sic) upskirt view of some lady's bottom.
My mother threatened to toss it out upon seeing that cover. Their LP debuted in NYC area on WNEW-FM,
as so many other prog-rock tunes/bands of the time. Their music harked to early YES (1969-1970).
I remember this LP ,not only for the "colourful" artwork,but the fact I always got confused which Banks
played on which LP. Peter or Tony....Then there was also a Banks name mentioned on the first Moodies
LP,featuring Denny Laine on vocals ("Go Now" era). I might have that LP packed-away somewhere,
prob. next to my Pat Moraz "Golf-Tee" debut LP (The Story of "I") ,and early Greenslade....
