After the soundtrack had been released, Dave King left the band and Eddie returned to London, where he met Lea Hart. This new partnership worked well and the two decided to write songs for a new record, called ‘On Target’. Lea and Eddie recruited the services of Gary Ferguson drums, Neil Murray on bass and later, Tim Carter bass but they were only to play on the album and never played live. ‘On Target’ reached America’s Top 40 but Eddie always believed that the album’s would have been better without the amount of record company interference that the band had to put up with. The re-recorded version, ‘On Target-Reworked’ is certainly a stronger offering. Produced by Eddie himself, the guitar sound is exceptional and the overall result is the total sound that Eddie wanted first time around. The next album ‘Bad, Bad Girls’ stands up as a worthy addition to the Fastway collection. Unfortunately, it was to be the band’s final studio recording. Due to ill health and a general decline in the popularity of rock music around this time, there was also to be no tour this time around and Fastway have not played live since. Don’t rule out a future return to the stage for this great band, though…
