Additional Info - This is the Flat As A Pancake album released by A&M Records in 1975 (the original was released in 1974 on Head East's own Pyramid label). The album sides are reversed compared to the Pyramid label but the tracks are the same. It also has different front and back cover art than the Pyramid release. The back photo was taken at the Rite-Way Diner in Olivette, Missouri. The diner has changed names and owners a few times over the years, but is still in business at 9638 Olive Blvd, Olivette, Missouri. The diner is currently called the Olivette Diner. Never Been Any Reason which has become a staple of classic rock radio is Head East's third highest charting song on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. It charted for 9 weeks beginning 18 October, 1975, peaking at # 68. Love Me Tonight charted for 6 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100. It entered the charts on 7 February, 1976 and peaked at # 54. Both Never Been Any Reason and Love Me Tonight performed better in local charts in the midwest where the band enjoyed greater popularity and received more airplay. This release is still in print and new copies in CD and cassette formats can be purchased through most music retailers. Used copies in CD, LP, cassette, and 8-track formats can usually be found online through record dealers and auction sites.
