THE FLAME The Flame (2006 UK 11-track CD album - 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 Flame[s] moved to London in 1968, where they were spotted by Beach Boy Carl Wilson. Having moved to California in 1969, they recorded this superbly crafted collection under his supervision. Released to acclaim but low sales in 1970, it features future Beach Boys Ricky Fataar [also reknowned for portraying Stig o'Hara in 'The Rutles'!] and Blondie Chaplin, and is nothing short of an overlooked classic, presented in sealed & stickered picture sleeve)
