Fastway / All Fired Up

No complaints ...very satisfied!

So sad that this Fastway lineup could not have last longer.These two recordings were performed in 1983 & 1984, in thattime I owned the records and turned me into Hard Rock. Thestyle is similar to Led Zeppelin since David King (voc.)soundsso much like Robert Plant. I already have the first Fastway CD,but could not be able to find "All fired up", now I got twocopies from the first one (though the first includes "Farfar from home" as bonus track, not included on this one).I seriously considered purchasing the "Fastwat Collection" but Icouldn't understand why does that not include the song "Tellme" from All fired up, this song is something else, is akiller, really. Jerry Shirley sounds perfect on drums (formerHumble Pie) and so does Charlie McKraken on bass (former ofTaste-Rory Gallagher), obviously Fast Eddie Clarke's riffsand solos are the trademark of Fastway's sound. In spite theshort life of this band, they created great music, greathard rock that is worth to have it (even more if you're aZeppelin fan).

Product arrived damaged!

Really enjoyed the music and the vocals.

Awesome

....Fast Eddie Clark went from the extreme hard rock or Motorhead to the bluesy Fastway. I like both bands.If you like ZZ Top & Rory Gallagher,then you might like Fastway. I bought this because the best of CD titled "The Collection" didn't have my favorite Fastway song on it called TELL ME. That song was released as a single & the video was played all over TVs in the mid 80s.Worth the price of admission.

first heard these guys on the trick or treat sound track ,loved the songs and made me want to hear some more,really good tracks delivery was quick and the price was great

I really can't add much that hasn't already been hashed without admitting that I'm older than dirt and my most commonly used word is "What"! But I want to add that Pete Way (UFO) played the Bass on the first LP (I bought it the day after it hit the shelves) hense the name: "FASTWAY" Git It, no really Git IT!!!Real Metal is On It's Way Back, So if You Do Not Like LEAD GUITAR mixed with you bloody grooves - YOU LOOSE!!!!!JRK

Hi sorry to say fastway not as good as motorhead sorry fast Eddie Clarke

Well worth getting if you need the All Fired Up album, as for some strange reason, on vinyl or CD it fetches silly collector's prices.Great debut and 2nd albums from the legendary Fastway, and every track is a winner.

Good band

love this band

Bonne idée que cet assemblage des deux premiers albums de Fastway, qui n'ont pris aucune ride. Incroyable succession de très bonnes chansons, hard mais pas lourdes, puissantes mais pas inaudibles, vitaminées mais pas speedées, bien envoyées par la voix haute perchée de Dave King, entrecoupées de solos superbes, faciles, généreux mais pas outranciers du grand Eddie. Vraiment dommage que ce groupe n'ait pas eu sous ce line-up la reconnaissance qu'il méritait. La faute en est peut-être (à mon avis) aux prestations scéniques du chanteur un peu moins hard et viriles que prévu, et dont la passion immodérée pour Janis Joplin lui faisait faire quelques écarts de voix, et de jeux de scènes parfois décevants. N'empêche que sur CD c'est encore et toujours très bon, très entêtant (qualité des refrains) à défaut d'être à la mode, mais Fastway ne l'a jamais été.... Offrez vous cette ré édition, cet enchainement de "hits-hard" bien mélodieux, et play it loud obligatoirement.
