Music from Australia and New Zealand in the
year 1978:
Flash 'n' The Pan's promo-video for the hit
single 'Down Among The Dead Men' taken from
the 1978 album 'Flash 'n' The Pan'.
George Young and Harry Vanda first rose to
international stardom when playing in the
Easybeats back in the mid 1960's. When the
group disbanded in 1969, Vanda and Young set
themselves up as a production/songwriting
team with a clientel which included Amen
Corner, The Tremeloes, Marmalade, Shocking
Blue, Los Bravos, Suzi Quatro and Paul Revere
and the Raiders.
Back in Australia and at Albert studios, the
duo continued writing and produced hits for
Ted Mulry, John Paul Young, Stevie Wright
(ex-Easybeat), William Shackespear and many
others as well as producing Rose Tattoo, the
Angels and AC/DC - a little known hard rock
band which featured George's younger brothers
Angus and Malcom Young.
In the later months of 1978, Flash 'n' The
Pan released their debut self-titled album.
Flash continued charting through out the
early to mid 1980s with hits 'Down Among The
Dead Men' (1978), 'Media Man' (1981),
'Waiting For The Train' (1983) and 'Midnight
Man' (1985).
