Flash And The Pan is Australians Harry Vanda and George Young who had previously been in the 60&#8217;s band The Easybeats. George is also the older brother of Angus and Malcolm of AC\/DC. The music is synthesizer based with monotone vocals,more spoken than sung,(think Lou Reed)and some catchy choruses. The first song &#8220;Hey St. Peter&#8221; got some airplay on FM radio and is a good song but I like the last three on the side better. &#8220;The Africa Shuffle&#8221; has a nice percussion break with some African vocals in the background and the eerie &#8220;California&#8221; closes out the side. My favorite song on the album is &#8220;Walking In The Rain&#8221; with heavy synthesizer and deadpan vocals that reminds me a bit of Suicide(the band). None of the songs on side two were familiar to me as I always played side one. &#8220;Hole In The Middle&#8221; has a Disco feel to it. The cover is in bad shape,water damaged, as many of the F to G titles were from the leaky toilet above them at the Franklin St. rental in West Reading. The record had some kind of mold on it but cleaned up fine. No skips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This record from 1978 is probably one of the last records I bought before moving out of my parents house&hellip; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/2020\/10\/10\/flash-and-the-pan-flash-and-the-pan\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Flash And The Pan-Flash And The Pan<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1575"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1575\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1577,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1575\/revisions\/1577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.redaem.com\/divad\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
