Short story:

Jeff Beck releases a new album, Flash, on Epic Records in the UK.

Full article:

Jeff Beck : That was a record company goof, really. They were a bit over-enthusiastic and a bit too sure of themselves - the Nile Rogers liaison. And he was, shall we say, partaking of some relaxing drugs, and also flying on a huge fucking ego with Madonna, you know. Where the fuck could I fit into that? Nowhere. The ironic thing was that the only two tracks that did work were the two tracks that he didn’t have anything to do with, Escape, and People Get Ready!

Ambitious sounds pretty good, though. Flash was lost in a kind of change, the ’80’s thing was going bananas - nobody knew what the hell was going on in the business. And New York had lost direction - with Madonna coming in, you could see that the big shit was going to happen with her, and even though I was being begged by my record company to make a record, they still didn’t want to do it, there was a lack of enthusiasm about it. But, well, it did happen, but it was one of those things.
