What a great tune! It's so good to see so many people still care about and have wonderful memories of these bands that started it all.Make sure the kids watch and listen to some of these gems.
@TheHumbuckerboy Yes its a massive shame that he wasn't able to. I do think that Steve did very well though, even if they used a few effects to make him sound better. :-)
@Dyynamo Yeah, I have read (and heard )conflicting accounts about how Brian came to receive the beating where he suffered damage to his throat.Steve made a better job of songs like 'California Nights' and 'Sixties Man' (even though he has stated that he detested it !) Andy actually sang some excellent vocals on songs such as 'Lady Starlight' , 'Fountain' and the choruses (including the intro ) to 'Love is Like Oxygen'.Brian ,however , was THE Sweet vocalist and an unsurpassed front man .
The little burst of guitar right before the final chorus was probably the sound that got me to start playing guitar. At time I'd never heard anything like it. I think I played this side of the 45 more than Ballroom Blitz. (Since everyone's saying how old they are, I'm 44)
Wonderful harmonies and well ahead of their time and misunderstood. Should they have done the Chinn Chapman thing or just relied on their own songwriting?
Sweet F A was the first album I ever bought, I've still got it and l still love it:) Thanks for putting this up I never get tired of listening to these tracks.
that's cool ...i'm 48 now and i own over than 10.000 vinyls...and the first i bought when i was 11 was Sweet's teenage rampage...they re one of my fafourite bands ever...it's endless if you're a musician to analyze their songs...
Of course i mean he nails it. Well i did say bad ass tune this. The term BAD ASS means good these days. Anyway i gotta say respect to ya for lovin sweet

This is a great rocker but it would have been so much better if Brian had sang the lead vocals.

Great harmonies in this song! but that's par for The Sweet -- few bands could equal their vocals.

This new to me but proves there was WAY more to them than BLOCKBUSTER. I think The Offspring might've borrowed their sound from some of "The Sweet"

Seen BC Sweet twice.
Seen AS Sweet once.
Brian had amazing vocals sadly AS Sweet didnt but Andys guitar playing is top notch.
