Product is the fourth studio album by British jazz fusion group Brand X, originally released in 1979. It features primary member Phil Collins back once again on drums following his absence on Masques. Drummer Mike Clark and bassist John Giblin also appear on this album. Two of the album's tracks - "Soho" and "Wal To Wal" - were largely recorded at Phil Collins' Old Croft home in Shalford, Surrey.[2]

Notes[edit]
- The song "Wal to Wal" is the first recorded song on which Phil Collins used a Roland drum machine. (The first recorded Genesis song on which he used a drum machine is "Duchess".)
- Both "Don't Make Waves" and "Soho" were released as singles and feature Phil Collins on vocals.
- The non-album songs "Pool Room Blues" and "Noddy Goes to Sweden" were outtakes from the Product sessions and used as B-sides to one of the singles. "Noddy Goes to Sweden" was also used on the 1980 album release of Do They Hurt?
- Various releases of the album switch the tracks "...And So to F..." and "Not Good Enough - See Me!"
