OF course not! They were not "allowed" to play on their first singles. T'was cheaper and faster to use pro studiomusicians... But it's their voices, or at least Brian's overdubbed a couple of times.
The Sweet were an awesome, awesome band, and Mick Tucker certainly brought a lot of talent to the table for The Sweet and did them some serious good,however, I gotta wonder how badass Mick would've been in a much harder rock outfit in the 70's if he had chose that path instead of bubblegum pop. Their later stuff was harder, but I think Mick could've reached near-legendary status in a more Thin Lizzy, UFO, Zeppelin-like band back then. He was an awesome drummer with great style. VERY underrated.
hahahaha! I want to throw a party like this!

They played all their own instruments on their first singles and continued to until their last.
