UFO

classic British boozey rock 'n' roll, a perfect band for anyone into the Dogs D'amour or Quireboys styles. One of the best British bands of the era. Ripley's vocals are fantastic (he came along way in 2 years - halfway between Ron Young of Little Caesar and Spike on this one) and EVERY song is killer, my pick being Baby's So Fine. An outstanding release, shame they never did anything else. 9.5/10

Fastway is a British heavy metal band formed by guitarist, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, formerly of Motörhead, and bassist, Pete Way, formerly of UFO. This was a restart for Fastway using vocalist Lea Hart and session musicians. In 1990 this duo released Bad Bad Girls, employing various session musicians including members of Girlschool. It was widely ignored and sold poorly, so now it is hard to find.

They then ventured to Philadelphia to start recording their debut album, also titled 'Wild On The Run" [(Parlophone / EMI) 1985]. Lance Quinn from Lita Ford and Bon Jovi-fame co-produced the album with the band. The album was released in May 1985 and tours followed supporting UFO, Tokyo Blade and Manowar.

Excellent indeed, one of their best from the 80's and even with a motive (opening riff) parroted later by Maiden for 2 Minutes to Midnight... It's a real SHAME it didn't originally appear on Time Tells No Lies.
