Early Morning Wake Up Call, the fourth studio album from Flash and the Pan, came out on Epic in 1984, and it's another slice of the clever, oddball studio pop that Harry Vanda and George Young cooked up once their Easybeats days were behind them. The two produced it themselves at Albert Studios in Sydney, and Flash and the Pan was never really a band so much as their laboratory.
The sound is sleek and percussive, all pulsing rhythms and cool, clipped hooks, the kind of post-disco dance music that sounds a few years ahead of the clubs. Europe got it: the album reached the top three in Sweden and did well in Switzerland, and both the title track and "Midnight Man" became hit singles, the latter climbing to number seven in Germany.
