Flat as a Pancake was the first studio release of the rock band Head East. At first, the album was released independently on Pyramid Records. However, when radio stations began to play the song "Never Been Any Reason," A&M Records signed the band and re-released the album in June 1975.
It is Head East's only album to be certified Gold by the RIAA.
Head East recorded the album at Golden Voice Studios in South Pekin, Illinois.
The diner photographed on the back cover of the A&M reissue is the Rite-Way Diner, still in business (now as the Olivette Diner) at 9638 Olive Blvd, Olivette, Missouri.
The album went to #126 on Billboard's Pop Album Chart, and was certified Gold by the RIAA on September 19, 1978, selling over 500,000 copies.
