Daily Flash
The Legendary Recordings 1965-1967 (2lp)
Seattle's first 'alternative' band from the '60s, the Daily Flash were caught in the psychedelic explosion of the West Coast with their electrifying blend of folk-rock, pop, blues and jazz. This compilation (the most comprehensive to date) includes their essential 45s ('Jack Of Diamonds' of 'Nuggets' fame, 'Queen Jane Approximately,' 'The French Girl'...) plus unreleased studio/live recordings and rare demos/acetates. File under: '60s psych, garage, folk-rock, pop psych. Comes in lavish gatefold sleeve, with remastered sound, LP sized 8-page insert with liner notes/photos and download card. Featuring Doug Hastings (Buffalo Springfield/Rhinoceros) on guitar/vocals. "The Daily Flash began in Seattle, to which they quickly became what the Beau Brummels were to San Francisco and the Byrds were to L.A." ~Patrick Lundborg. SIDE 1: 1. The French Girl 2.
