Notes
Digitally remastered edition. Includes 16 page full color booklet, 3,500 word essay, enhanced artwork, memorabilia, rare photos and quotes from Fast Eddie Clarke. Fastway roared out of the starting block in 1983 with all cylinders firing. Trick Or Treat was the band's fourth album and in some ways their swansong. It was an unusual creation, being effectively the soundtrack to a fairly successful heavy metal horror film, issued November 1986, one month after the film's commercial release. Amazingly, the album contains a brace of raw recordings that hark back to the praised debut and 2nd albums. It was an approach that had been somewhat shelved with their previous, more melodic, record, but throwing caution to the wind their thick raunchy sound is firmly back on track, allowing 'Fast' Eddie to rip it up in fine form, and Dave King's vocals to take center stage. Songs such as 'Get Tough', 'Stand Up' and 'Don't Stop The Fight' are high water marks in a career that should have seen them rise to super stardom.
