the flame

This Beach Boys-related power pop landmark makes its long-awaited CD debut here. A South African quartet who'd been domestic stars for years, the Flames moved to London in 1968, where they were spotted by Beach Boy Carl Wilson.
Having moved to California in 1969, they recorded this superblycrafted collection under his supervision. Released to acclaim but low sales in 1970, it features future Beach Boys Ricky Fataar and Blondie Chaplin, and is nothing short of an overlooked classic.
