Flash Rolling Stone ad – US 1972
Flash was former Yes guitar player Peter Banks’s band of the early 70’s. This is an ad based on the record sleeve. It’s a cheesy concept, but a real period piece. It’s also interesting that the sleeve was allowed in the US, when equally semi-naked shots on the covers of Roxy Music’s 1974 album Country Life, and UFO’s 1975 Force It were removed leaving pictures of a tree and a bathroom.
