Band of Georges: Flashback

Flashback by George. From Volume I Side B of the Band of Georges. Music by G. Davies/S. Miller/R. Holloway. Lyrics by G. Davies/S. Miller. Composed 21st and 24th September 1982 and then circa 6th November 1982. Recorded May 1986. Mixed October 1986. Lifted from cassette March 2025. Copyright © 1982 Explicit Music. Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records. Fun Facts: This is in fact Flashback Part 1. The original lyrics for Flashback Part 1 became Flashback Part 3. Flashback Part 2 was celled Hard Times. Both Hard Times and Flashback Part 3 appear in subsequent volumes of songs by the Band of Georges. Simon wrote new words for Flashback, and they are here. George changed one word - 'Judas' for 'Manda', and ever onwards from some years later, regretted doing so. Flashback (Part 1) was performed by many different bands. A recorded version by Fooog Dinboffin and the Release was when Simon create the beautiful guitar melody at the start of the instrumental. We hope to be able to release that version sometime this year. Flashback was recorded in 1985 by Wud and appears on the Daylight Demo, with Ken singing. Rough Terrain performed it live many, many times. In addition to those bands, Flashback was also part of the set of Now, Sirius Rising, Lemming Meringue, The Addled Eggs and The Subterraineans. During the days of Sirius Rising, Richard created a flute part. On this particular recording of Flashback, the flute part was played on the EDP Wasp, and sounds nothing at all like a flute.
