Fashion Music was formed originally in Birmingham, England, in 1978, when they also founded their own Fashion Music tag; from this point forward, the band was generally (though not completely consistently) identified as Fashion, as distinct from the name of their self-owned tag. Fashion released their first two singles (InchSteady Eddie SteadyInch and InchCitiniteInch) as independent issues on the UK in November 1978 and June 1979 respectively. The group was quickly picked up by I.R.S., who put out a third single in the US in September 1979, InchThe InnocentInch. Their sound was varied, playing punk, post-punk and indie repertoire, although Mulligan at that time also had a synthesizer which later characterized the future synthpop years of the band. Still signed to I.R.S., in 1979 they recorded and released their first album, Product Perfect. All three members were credited as having written the songs collectively. They toured the UK with U2, both the UK and US with The Police, and opened for The B-52's on their first British tour. In March 1980, no longer associated with I.R.S., Fashion released their InchSilver BladesInch single, again on their own Fashion Music tag. Later in 1980 they also released one more song, InchLet GoInch, on a Birmingham bands compilation called Bouncing in the Red (EMI). In June 1980, after a last gig in London with U2, Luke James left the band.01.A1 - Steady Eddie Steady02.A2 - Killing Time03.A3 - Citinite04.A4 - Wastelife05.A5 - Silver Blades06.B1 - Silver Blades A Deeper Cut07
