Fastway is the debut studio album by British rock band Fastway, released in April 1983.
Founding member Pete Way (ex-bass guitar player with UFO) did not play on the album, because by the time the recording sessions began Way left the band.[1] He soon formed another band, Waysted. The bass guitar parts on the album were actually played by Mickey Feat.
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.
