Fabulous Beast is the third studio album released by Australian rock group Boom Crash Opera. The album was released in March 1993 and peaked at number 15 on the ARIA Charts.
Richard Pleasance left the band in 1992, midway through the recording of this album, after he was diagnosed with Tinnitus.[1] He is credited with playing on the album, and with co-writing some material, but is not pictured as a full group member.
Farnan later said, "It's a dreadful record. We had some great songs that didn't get recorded and the record company kept saying they don't hear a single. Nirvana was breaking through across the world and our A&R guy was banging on about Pat Benatar. I said, "Forget about Pat Benatar. Looks what's on TV. The 80s are over!'"[2]
