The Fad Gadget Singles

The Fad Gadget Singles is the 1986 collection of singles by British musician Fad Gadget. The album versions of these songs are not only of differing lengths, they were also often alternative mixes. The songs span the career of Fad Gadget from "Back to Nature" / "The Box" (his first single, double A side) to "One Man's Meat", his final single before Fad Gadget reverted to his given name of Frank Tovey for the remainder of his recording career (he toured with Depeche Mode under the persona of Fad Gadget once again, only a few months before his death of a heart attack on April 3, 2002.^[1])

"Back to Nature" / "The Box" was the first ever single to be released on Mute Records in October 1979. One b-side, "4M" from the "Life on the Line" single, is included on the collection.
