				The Barry Flast Collection

Barry Flast was a musician who played with the who’s who of the Rock & Roll world for 45 years. He was also a prolific music collector who always had a tape recorder going every place he went. Barry passed away in November 2013. His wife Mary has generously offered to share some of his music collection with the music trading world. This project will be ongoing for a long time to come. Barry collected thousands of soundboards, audience  recordings, and various home recordings & compilations. Many of them will be shared over the coming months and years.


Thank you Barry.
