Last update on 27/10/2007.
I`m trying to compile a complete discography of Fad Gadget and Frank Tovey and what I`ve
been
able to find up to this moment is here. I worked hard on this list, but it still
has a bit of
omissions and unfilled spaces. As usual, you can send me any information that is
absent from
it
- any help is appreciated. Please write to me here:
80`s Discogs (fadingeuropeans@mail.ru)
Deepest thanks so far go to Andrei Rykov for his immeasurable help with providing a very
hard-
to-find information about Fad Gadget/Frank Tovey releases.
