X-Ray Specs - Andy Scott's Sweet

[CatSwanson]

My "Answer" to this video is MORE ANDY !!! and well done all :)

[SherlockHolmes4360]

it´s a cover. the original was released by swedish band sha boom, produced by andy

[Ulai777]

This should be re released, it is perfect for RIGHT now!

[dan24591]

what a song. my father has the single of this. managed to get it from my mothers old pen pal who lived in germany! can't remember how long i've been listening to sweet for!

[Rozzyable]

Yeah this line-up ROCKS. Why Andy doesn't play like this now?

This song is also present on Andy Scott's Sweet 1995 studio album The answer, it may be easier to find than the original single

@vid512

Vid - Is The Answer a completely different album to 'A'? Thanks, Baffled, UK

[vid512]

@1973WaveyDavey "The Answer" (1995) has all songs of "A" (1992), some seem to be bit different version (not sure). Apart from that, it has "X-Ray specs", "I don't want to say goodnight", and single version of "Do as I say".

I can only speak for myself, but i would have loved to hear Brian sing this song. You do know who Brian Connolly was, right? Andy Scott´s sweet is worth fuck all, as far as i´m concerned!!

@Merca230e

Why are you watching the video then? No life perhaps? :)

[Merca230e]

@SilverTounge85 I do have a life, and it does´nt include you and your cheeky comments. You will never understand how i feel about the original Sweet, or why i made that comment. OK?

[OrangePickleLemonade]

@Merca230e And so was that opinion, having seen them way to many times myself...

[kittiesgomow33]

@Merca230e totally agreed.

[cupedli]

yes...sey ...super drive!!!!!

I'm glad to see this clip from Sweden, nearly from my hometown VÄXJÖ. They did an exellent consert at place called "Bella" after this TV broadcast. I was there and enjoyed every minute of that show...........Thanks a lot!!

X-Ray Specs is a single by Andy Scott's Sweet in 1991. The B-Side is "I Don't Want To Say Goodnight". The line-up is:Andy Scott-guitar,vocals, Mal McNulty-lead vocals, Jeff Brown, Bass, Steve Mann-guitar,keyboards and Bodo Schopf-drums. Andy's version of The Sweet performed X-Ray Specs live regularly throughout the 1990's.

The sad part with this video which was made in Sweden as i wrote earlier, was that in the interview, the band members was talking wery bad about Brian Connolys Sweet. They said that Brian Connolys Sweet was the horisontal verson(according to his alcoholic problems i suppose) and that this band instead was a band of friends. It hurts me that they talk that way of a former band member that together with Mick Tucker formed the Sweet from the beginning.

[andersnuuu]

Andy should be wery greatuful of what Brian gave him instead of talking bad about him i think. RIP sweet Brian and Mick. But i think this song is great anyway...

[pontus1994]

the version with evenrude is cool :D

[thorbheg]

Yes, I think he's doing it better:-)

[Chumbaphine]

Fantastic song, but unfortunately Andy Scott's Sweet do not perform it live at any of their gigs.

[SuezySweet]

Yeah they did in Chicago in 1993. It is a great song.

[hamous]

I got this cd (3 songs) and i will rip it and put it on What :)

[dan24591]

yeah my father has this cd too. the cover artwork is cool. he got it imported from germany yeeeears ago.

[EricFanIngo]

Great song! That line-up rocked like hell and don't kill me Mal McNulty (now in Slade) is my favourite Sweet-singer ever! X-ray-specs was releases as a 3-track Maxi-Cd together with I don't want to say goodnight and Hellraiser!!!

[spikeman14]

Mal McNulty is easily the best singer of Andy Scott's Sweet!

[andersnuuu]

This video is from a Swedish telivision program named "Kosmopol"

It was showed in november 1991.

They also did Hellraiser in this program.

I remember that there was a short interviev with the band members aswell but i dont know where to find it.

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

Good to hear this song again, love it.

[hitgang]

[mari12rock]

Wow-where did you find these? Never seen/heard before. Very cool!
