"Say What You Will" comes from Fastway's self-titled debut, released in April 1983, and it's a band credit through and through: Eddie Clarke, Dave King and Jerry Shirley wrote it together, and Eddie Kramer produced. The lineup was already in flux before the tape rolled. Founding bassist Pete Way, formerly of UFO, had left by the time sessions started and soon launched Waysted, so the bass parts across the record were played by Ralph Benitez. The album later came back in a two-for-one reissue with the band's second record, All Fired Up, and in an expanded edition from Rock Candy Records.
