================================================================================

When I heard this album in 1982 I was blowing away right from the start. It is still one of my fav records of all time.

Pure class from start to finish. Overlooked at the time and a real shame.

This incarnation of Fashiøn was one of the most cutting edge acts of the early 80’s. Fabrique is one of my all time top 10 albums. It’s criminal that this album stands alone as that line-ups only long player.
Such a great blend of disco electronic beats and that groovy bass. Dave Harris has written some great catchy tunes and the titles of each track perfectly describe the kind of music you get here.
Everyone of these should have been a hit single. These songs are made to sing along to.
Nicely packaged with the book and other elements in a dual layer box with foam cut outs keeping everything safe.
It’s a little pricey but you have consider that this is essentially a boutique release. If there was a guarantee bigger numbers would sell, then the cost would have, I’m sure, come down.
I’d love a vinyl box set of this era’s 12” singles reproduced and of course the album in there too.
That would be just amazing.

Does anyone have any album recommendations similar to this? It has quickly become one of my fav 80's synth pop albums

Being a big Fashion fan for years and seeing them twice perform ‘live’ this review will make complete sense. The only thing I agree with the other reviews is that the sound quality is superb. The 4 c.d. total playing time is disgraceful.The total playing time on all compact discs available is 79’ 59”. The LONGEST playing time on this set is 61’ 14”. Could easily have been released as a double C.D. As for the lavish book. Could easily be condensed to 20 pages at most. The ‘lavish’ box doesn’t even look that good at all. Very basic - Very cheap. As for it being ‘worth every cent’ you are either very rich or totally misguided. At best, this box set should have cost at least half of its going price and that’s at a push. Extremely disappointing.

Absolutely worth every cent!
Other box sets should take a cue from this. Vast difference in the sound compared to previous reissues.
Wonder why the site superdeluxe edition missed out on highlighting this superb set.

There are 1000 sets of his box. Buy in haste or regret in leisure.

Great album, taking me back to my youth. Fashiøn Fabrique Deluxe Box Set. is Well worth the money.

Finally It's fanastic Fashiøn Fabrique Deluxe Box Set <3 Fabrique Global : )~
