Amazon Buyer (CD) Review:
Back in the day...Flash Fearless was intended to be a touring musical (according to the cd booklet it actually was performed a time or two after the record had come out, but without the performers on the record) and the producers came up with this all-star cast to do the record.

Reasons to buy this cd:

1. James Dewar (vocalist for Robin Trower) delivers his strongest recorded performance ever on "What's Happening". If you like Dewar, then this is an absolutely critical cut for you to have - STELLAR!

2. Jim Dandy of Black Oak Arkansas brings it. He's completely in character and handles both the alienation of the country boy in deep space of "Country Cookin" and the naive optimism of man's future in the stars of "Blast Off". The vocal effect at the end of "Blast Off" predates it's use on "Too Hot To Stop" on BOA's "X-Rated" lp.

3. Alice Cooper. Humor, menace, solid Coop.

4. John Entwistle takes the vocal on "Let's Go To The Chop". The Ox sounds great and his bass work is his typically outstanding self.

5. The cd has a bonus cut that was not on the original vinly release. Unfortunately, "The Georgia Syncopator" is a relatively weak addition.

6. The cd does have a much better than average booklet with information that was not included in the vinyl release...it's informative and honest about the circumstances surrounding the whole Flash Fearless concept and the resulting album and tour.

The Elkie Brooks, Maddie Prior, and Frankie Miller cuts don't do anything for me. But, if you're a fan of Alice Cooper, Jim Dandy, or James Dewar you could buy this and be thrilled with these performances that you won't find elsewhere (outside of Cooper's on his box set). Overall, an intersting addition to the collection and worth the price.
