Faust So Far is a 1972 album by German krautrock group Faust. It has a slightly more commercial sound than their first album, with both "Rainy Day for Sunshine Girl" and "No Harm" (also known as "Daddy, take a Banana") being free-form rock-outs based on simple rhythms. The album was issued in a black sleeve with black inner sleeve, black labels and a set of inserts with one print for each song on the album; in the 1980s, Recommended Records sold a vinyl edition that lacked the inserts, but these have reappeared in the currently available vinyl edition.
