Flash is the fifth studio album by guitarist Jeff Beck, released in July 1985 by Epic/CBS Records.[6] The album reached No. 39 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart[7] as well as reaching the top 60 in four other countries.[8]

Two singles also charted, the first being a reunion with singer Rod Stewart (from the Jeff Beck Group) for a cover of "People Get Ready" by Curtis Mayfield/The Impressions, which reached No. 5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock and No. 48 on the Hot 100, as well as the top 40 in four other countries. The second single, "Gets Us All in the End", reached No. 20 on Mainstream Rock. The instrumental "Escape" went on to win the award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1986 Grammys,[9][7] which was to be Beck's first of many such awards.
