Flash and the Pan: C or D, S/D?

I have come around to madly loving this, especially "The African Shuffle."

"Walking In the Rain" (which is still really good) is, at best, the fourth-best song on their debut album, behind "Man in the Middle," "Lady Killer," and the immortal "Hey St. Peter." ("California" is about equal with "Walking," I'd say. Sixth place = "The African Shuffle" or "First and Last".)

I also like Love is in the Air by some Scottish guy named Young, though apparently not related, which they produced.

you all seem to be forgetting 'midnight man'!!

Also, for what it's worth, this is the ugliest CD packaging I have ever seen:

I mean, Christ, is that Comic Sans?!

I love "Midnight Man" so much.

I like "Media Man" as well.

I have the "Waiting for a Train" 12 inch and it is great.

C., and very dear to my heart. One of the 1st bands I ever considered mine - along with Cheap Trick & The Knights in Satan's Service.

1st LP is great all the way through. Lights In the Night is darker, but still damn good. Headlines has a few keepers.

Okay, I was totally wrong (Bob = me). Bought a two-dollar copy of the debut the other day, just for the hell of it. It's far from classic. The stuff I loved way back when sounds incredibly grating now: "Hey St. Peter" & "Ladykiller" being prime offenders. The more moody, downbeat quasi-funk tracks are pretty okay, though. Oddy enuf, that's the stuff I didn't like as a kid. Wonder if I'd like Lights In the Night and Headlines now? I remember them being darker, less comical/ingratiating.

midnight man has been my jam recently

Are any of these Vanda and Young songs from the early 70s worth tracking down?

Paintbox "Get Ready For Love" (1970)
Tramp "Vietnam Rose" (1970
Eddie Avana "Children" (1970)
Moondance "Lazy River" (1970, A&M Records)
Grapefruit "Sha-Sha" (1971, Deram Records)
Haffy's Whiskey Sour "Shot in the Head" (1971, Deram)
Band of Hope "Working Class People" (1972, unreleased)
Marcus Hook Roll Band "Natural Man"
Marcus Hook Roll Band "Louisiana Lady"
Marcus Hook Roll Band "Can't Stand the Heat"

Man, I had never to my knowledge really heard of these guys. What a weird musical footnote.

Midnight Man is one of my all time favourite songs
