Fastway is the first album by the band, Fastway, released in May 1983.
Founding member Pete Way (ex bass guitar player with UFO) did not actually play on the album, because by the time the recording sessions began he had already left the band. He soon formed another band, Waysted. The bass guitar parts on the album were actually played by the session bass guitarist Mickey Feat, who is uncredited on the album.
The album has been reissued as a two-fer with the second Fastway album, All Fired Up; however, that edition omits the song "Far Far from Home", bonus track featured on the standalone CD release of the first album.
UK-based record label Rock Candy Records has since re-issued the album with additional liner notes and bonus tracks, including B-sides and BBC sessions.
All tracks composed by Fastway
* Originally, "Far Far from Home" was a separate promotional single, included in the first vinyl LP pressings. It was not on the original cassette versions, and not included in subsequent LP editions, but is included as a track on the compact disk edition.
