“Walking in the Rain” by Flash and the Pan

Flash and the Pan was the name Harry Vanda and George Young, the former Easybeats men who had turned themselves into a writing and production team, put on their own records, and "Walking in the Rain" shows how the trick worked. It first slipped out as the B-side of "Hey, St. Peter" before it found a home on the self-titled debut album.

Vanda and Young wrote and produced it and both play electric guitar, with Young on synthesizer and the lead vocal and Vanda singing alongside him. Ray Arnott drums, Les Karski plays bass and Warren Morgan adds piano, and the whole thing moves with the cool, unhurried stride of a song that knows it doesn't have to shout.
