"Easy Livin" comes off Fastway, the debut album the British rock band put out in April 1983, and the credit sheet is short and to the point: Eddie Clarke, Dave King and Jerry Shirley wrote it, sharing the music credit with the band as a whole, and Eddie Kramer produced.
The lineup had already sprung a leak before the tapes rolled. Pete Way, the ex-UFO bassist who co-founded the band, was gone by the time the sessions got under way, off to start Waysted, so every bass line on the record came from Ralph Benitez instead. The album has since resurfaced on one disc alongside the second Fastway set, All Fired Up, and as a Rock Candy Records reissue loaded with fresh liner notes, B-sides and BBC sessions.
