Description
From Boston, but light years away from the excesses of the notorious "Bosstown sound", Ill Wind are revered as one of America's best late '60s underground bands. Mixing taut acid rock with gorgeous ballads, and featuring outstanding guitar interplay and the beautiful vocals of Connie Devanney, Flashes is rightly regarded as one of the key artefacts of US psychedelia. Originally issued in the summer of 1968, and much bootlegged since, Sunbeam is delighted to announce its first proper reissue, prepared with the band's full participation. The original album is accompanied by a second disc containing a plethora of superb contemporary bonus material, as well as a booklet featuring rare photographs and historical notes by the band's founder and lead guitarist Ken Frankel, making the package truly essential for psych fans.

"West-Coasty hippie-psycher that has to rank as one of the best Airplane epigons from anywhere, with a solid rocking backbone most of their competition lacks... great fluid guitar jams" - The Acid Archives

"A fine album, whose sound is moulded by Conny Devanney's crystal-clear vocals. Strongly recommended" - Fuzz, Acid & Flowers US Psych Classic

* 2CDs packed into a 6 panel digipak, UV gloss with a 12 page booklet
* Whole disc of bonus cuts
* Rare photos
* Liner notes by Founder Ken Frankel

This is on YouTube. Interesting stuff, if you have any kind of taste (tolerance?) for 60's psychedelic. Vinyl copies go for big money on eBay.
