Sorry to disappoint you, but the Flame album was only released on vinyl....there are future plans for a cd release...but there seems to be no hurry in that...

If you're lucky you can find "The Best Of The Flames" on cd (South African release only) somewhere...

WOW...I'm  surprised!

Unfortunately no bonustracks from their unreleased second album as was "promised" by Desper...

BMO: Does that album have a title?

SWD: No, but it’s all mixed and ready to go and I’ve tried three times to….I’ve tried with three different companies to get it released and now I’m working with Alan Boyd, or rather Alan Boyd is really doing it. He produced a couple of TV specials of the Beach Boys like “Endless Harmony”. He is currently their historian and he’s getting their tape vault all organised. He has a production company and may be able to get it released.

BMO: So we may yet see a release….

SWD: We’re working toward getting the first album that you and I are talking about along with the second album that’s still in the can, all released as one new package, of all the songs Carl produced. There’s a whole album out there just waiting to be released.

 Huh

The groups name on the cover looks similar to the Pet Sounds album font.

I just received the CD. Despite it’s already 35 years old music, I’m surprised it sounds still so great as it did then. It hasn’t aged a bit.  Great craftsmanship: Steve Desper engineered it, Carl Wilson produced it. Beatles influenced, Beach Boys influenced. I recommend it highly and get it while you can……

Wow...how did this get released on CD without an announcement spreading like wildfire on the BB message boards?  It looks pretty official...I scooped one up very quickly.  Even if it is a boot, I'd be happy just to hear it, regardless of sound quality.  I've been waiting YEARS for this!

Good vibes,
Eric

Pretty sure it's not a boot.  I noticed on cduniverse.com a few weeks ago it was scheduled for release in the UK this week, but it's been moved to next week.  Looks as though someone got 'em early.  Heard the stuff a few years back (bad cassette copy of the vinyl). I do remember it being beatles-y.

I ordered mine from Cd Universe last week and I received my copy of it yesterday. The cd is great. The music really stands out. They did a great job on this cd.

Wow...what's next?  The POB CD-reissue?  The two CW solo albums on 1 legitimate disc?  LBWL?  Or even MLNW released by year's end?

At the beginning of this year, I would never have imagined a Flame CD and a rooftop semi-reunion with the five remaining BB...

Well, I did mention this to mass indifference on The Smile Shop in June sometime (June 26 in fact)....Spin (a UK record shop and internet dealer) mentioned it on their web-site of upcoming stuff that it was finally getting a UK release. 

Spin is quite useful for upcoming news before it gets printed elsewhere.
