Inside Out

After superstar violin player Jerry Goodman had left the band to join John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, for a brief reunion The Flock joined forces with violin player Mike Zydowsky, keyboard wizard James Hirsen and producer Felix Pappalardi. After the newly formed band had been together already one year, they recorded 1975's beautiful, yet ill-received Inside Out album, produced by iconic Mountain and Cream producer Felix Pappalardi, who also sang background vocals on 6 songs.
The three core members of The Flock, Jerry Smith, Fred Glickstein and Ron Karpman gave the band a breath of fresh air. The fresh air comes from the search on the part of The Flock to be unique. That quality is found within the personality of the band and the tunes, which come from various stages of their growth. Each tune has a story behind it.
Nevertheless, consequently, due to lack of success, after this the Flock disbanded and faded into rock & roll obscurity.
