FAST PRODUCT
RECORDS
Fast Product was an independent record label, established in Edinburgh by
Bob Last and his partner, Hilary Morrison, in December 1977. Its first release
was also the first single by the Mekons, released on 20 January 1978. The label
is probably most notable for having issued the first records by a number of
early and influential post-punk bands from Northern England, including the
original Human League, the Gang of Four and the Mekons. Fast Product also
released the first singles by the Scottish punk bands Scars and The Flowers. The
label also released compilations of various new bands called 'ear comics' or
Earcom. Many of the label's releases were also produced by Bob Last with
Morrison producing photographs and visuals for the record sleeves. It issued
singles in an FAST-0 numerical series. Distributed By EMI Records.
