5 out of 5 stars Sweet is sweet.......2007-01-10

This CD sets down a strong sense of who (The)Sweet was. A cross between bubblegum and rock, glam and hard rock. On par with such notables as Queen, T-Rex, Gary Glitter and Slade. Thirty years later, Ballroom Blitz can still rock the house.

In March 1971, The Sweet's "Funny Funny" single became their first international hit, climbing to the Top 20 on many of the world's charts. Although the next single, "All You'll Ever Get From Me" (May 1971) failed to chart, "Co-Co" (June 1971) became a big hit (UK #2), which outsold "Funny Funny". But the following single, "Alexander Graham Bell" (October, 1971) was only a minor hit (UK #33).

The Sweet's first official LP titled Funny How Sweet Coco Can Be was released towards the end of 1971, but failed to chart. An oddly endearing collection of Chinn/Chapman novelty tunes ("Chop Chop", "TomTom Turnaround") and ill-fitting pop covers (the Lovin' Spoonful's "What a Day for a Daydream", the Supremes' "Reflections"), the album stands fairly well now for devoted Sweet fans, but it wasn't much then as a serious contender on the charts. As the LP faded into obscurity, The Sweet found themselves being labelled by music critics as nothing more than a Top 40 singles band. Furthermore, Chinn and Chapman did their best to destroy the band's chance of respectability by bringing in session musicians, a la The Monkees, to play on the records, even though The Sweet were quite competent musically.

The relationship between The Sweet and Nicky Chinn/Mike Chapman was becoming increasingly tense. One major reason was that The Sweet were not happy with the Bubblegum image that was being cast on them. As a result, their B-sides got heavier with each release. Done Me Wrong All Right, the self-penned B-side of Co-Co amazed some listeners who had hated the pop sound but loved their rock style and realised there was more to the band than they had thought. This dichotomy of bubblegum A-sides and heavy rock B-sides only served to confuse their teenage fan following. Indeed, The Sweet's live performances consisted of B-sides, album tracks and various medleys of rock n roll classics; rarely were the singles played live.

In February 1972, "Poppa Joe" was released and stopped at the gates of the British Top 10. The next two singles of the year, "Little Willy" and "Wig-Wam Bam" both peaked at #4 on the UK charts. Although "Wig-Wam Bam" remained largely true to the style of The Sweet's previous recordings, the vocals and guitars had a harder, more rock-oriented sound--largely because it was the first The Sweet single on which the real members of The Sweet played. It was in many ways, a transition single, paving the way for the change of musical emphasis that came in January 1973 with "Block Buster" (later often as "Blockbuster"), The Sweet's first (and only) chart-topping single, which quickly reached #1 on the UK singles chart. "Hell Raiser" was released in May and reached position #2, which was repeated by the subsequent singles, "Ballroom Blitz" (September, 1973) and "Teenage Rampage" (February, 1974).

As the group's popularity grew, The Sweet put in a heavy schedule of UK and European TV promotional appearances, including numerous Top Of The Pops and Supersonic slots. The Sweet soon picked up a large teenage audience. The band also capitalised on the Glam explosion, rivalling Gary Glitter, T. Rex, Queen, Wizzard, and Slade for outrageous stage clothing.

By 1974, The Sweet had grown tired of the artistic control Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman exerted over their career, hence the group decided to record without the duo. The resulting album, Sweet Fanny Adams, was their first UK Top 40 chart album. The Sweet's technical proficiency was demonstrated for the first time on self-penned hard rock tracks such as "Sweet FA" and "Set Me Free". The Sweet also dropped their glam image in favour of a more conventional hard rock appearance. In response to UK music critics, The Sweet concentrated on proving their musical talents with self-written, hard rock/pop album tracks.

The Sweet Fanny Adams album (first for the band who dropped The and called themselves SWEET) also featured compressed high-pitched backing vocal harmonies, which was a trend that continued on all of Sweet's albums. Sweet, and contemporary UK band Queen, were both recognised as one of the main exponents of high-pitched harmonies during the 1970s.

In 1975, Sweet went back into the studio to re-arrange and record a more pop oriented version of track "Fox On The Run", which originally appeared on the 1974 Desolation Boulevard LP. Sweet's first self-written and produced single, "Fox On The Run" (March, 1975) was released worldwide and instantly became their biggest selling hit, reaching number one in Germany and Australia, number two in Great Britain and the Netherlands and number five in the U.S.A. (1976 release). The following single issue, "Action" (July, 1975) peaked at UK #15 (Since 1975, all subsequent RCA and Polydor single releases were now referred to as simply Sweet).

Now confident in their own songwriting and production abilities, Sweet spent the latter half of 1975 in Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany, where they recorded the Give Us A Wink album with German sound engineer Reinhold Mack (aka Mack), who later recorded with Electric Light Orchestra and Queen.

January 1976 saw the release of "The Lies In Your Eyes". This single was not very successful around the world, except parts of Europe and Australia. As a result of its success, Australia was the only country to get the follow up single "4th Of July". The follow-up single was the world-wide release of "Lost Angels". This single was only popular in Germany. "Give Us A Wink", Sweet's first fully produced and written LP was released in March 1976.

Between October 1976 and January 1977, Sweet wrote and recorded new material at Kingsway Recorders and Audio International London studios for their next album. In April 1977, Off The Record was released, which was Sweet's final RCA album release. The first single from the album, "Fever of Love", represented the band heading in a somewhat more Europop hard rock direction. On this album, Sweet again worked with Give Us A Wink engineer Louie Austin, who would later engineer Def Leppard's On Through The Night 1980 debut album.

The 1976 and 1977 years featured Sweet as a more album oriented, glam metal act. Albums such as Give Us a Wink and Off the Record were undoubtedly Sweet's heaviest studio albums. Indeed, U.S. Top 20 chart entry "Action" was the group's hardest rocking hit single. "Stairway To The Stars" was Sweet's final single release for RCA.

In 1985, Andy Scott and Mick Tucker re-formed Sweet with various new vocalists and bass players, the most notable being a 1986 reunion featuring Paul Mario Day (the first singer of Iron Maiden), keyboardist Phil Lanzon, and bass player Malcolm McNulty. Steve Priest was asked to join Tucker and Scott for the 1985 Australian tour, but declined at the last moment. Vocalist and bass player Jeff Brown joined in 1988. In 1991, Mick Tucker departed due to ill health, leaving Andy Scott as the only original member. After Tucker's departure, Andy Scott changed the band's name to 'Andy Scott's Sweet'. In 2003, Tony O'Hora replaced Jeff Brown as lead vocalist. As of 2006, the line-up consists of Andy Scott, Bruce Bisland, and Steve Grant.

In 1988, Connolly, Scott, Priest, and Tucker briefly reformed to record music for the first time in nine years. Some reworked studio versions of "Action", and "Ballroom Blitz", were recorded in Los Angeles. However, Connolly's vocals were deemed unsatisfactory by the three other group members, hence the reunion was brief. (After a mugging/beating in which his assailant(s) repeatedly kicked him in the throat, Connolly's voice never really recovered, and he was unable to sing with the strength and purity he'd had on early-to-mid-70s Sweet music.)

In 1990, all four members were again re-united for the promotion of a video music documentary, titled "Sweet's Ballroom Blitz". This UK release, which contained UK television performances from the 1970s, including current-day interviews, was released at Tower Records, London.

Brian Francis [McManus] Connolly died from liver failure and repeated heart attacks February 9, 1997, aged 51, having been content in his final years to appear in retrospective documentaries demonstrating the damage he had inflicted upon himself. He was cremated after a ceremony at Most Holy Name Roman Catholic Church at Old Mill Lane, Denham, Buckinghamshire and his ashes were scattered over the water by his adult daughters Nicola and Michelle. He also left an ex-wife, Marilyn, and a two-year-old son called Brian Junior (BJ) by his girlfriend Jean.

Michael Tomas (Mick) Tucker died February 14, 2002 in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire from leukaemia, aged 54; his funeral took place February 25, 2002. He is buried in an un-named grave in Chorleywood House cemetery. The location is 51 deg 39.644 minutes North, 0 degrees 30.330 minutes West (WGS84). It is marked by a sleeping angel. A wooden bench with a brass plaque funded by fans as a dedication to Mick is also positioned in the grave's vicinity. He left behind a widow, Julie, and a daughter Ayston. According to Steve Priest: "He was the most underrated drummer that ever came out of England. He was the powerhouse of the band. He was technically marvellous. His timing was impeccable, but he had a lot of soul as well and he really felt what he was playing."

At least one of Sweet's two remaining members is still active in the music industry. Andy Scott currently continues to tour as 'Andy Scott's Sweet'. February 2006 saw the release of a new Suzi Quatro album, "Back To The Drive", which was produced by Andy Scott. March 2006 saw the US release of a new AS Sweet album, "Sweetlife" from 2003. In October 2006, Scott staged a performance of AS Sweet to help save his home town football team, which was experiencing serious financial difficulty.

Steve Priest resides with his family in Los Angeles, CA. He has published his autobiography "Are You Ready Steve?" which was a raw expose of his time with Sweet and in 2006 released "Priest's Precious Poems", a CD of tracks largely comprised of his more recent material.

Rock on!

4 out of 5 stars From bubblegum pop to glamrock.......2005-04-09

Sweet was one of the most successful UK bands of the 1970s. They started out with Funny Funny in 1971, a singalong vocal pop hit and that same year they had another huge success with the clever pop song Coco, a song about a monkey, with sweet hooks and gorgeous harmonies.

As the 1970s progressed, their sound evolved into a type of bubblegum metal, power pop or glamrock, as on the brilliant Blockbuster, Hell Raiser and Ballroom Blitz. The very best tracks are the aforementioned, plus the amazing Fox On The Run.

Not everything is great here, since Poppa Joe, Alexander Graham Bell, Little Willy and Wig Wam Bam are disposable and lightweight pop. But their 1978 hit Love Is Like Oxygen is much more mature, a type of tuneful hard rock.

The album includes some of their best album tracks like Restless, Set Me Free and Burn On The Flame, that display Sweet's more serious hard rock side. Overall a very enjoyable mix of vocal and hard edged pop plus some serious glam rock excursions.

5 out of 5 stars Loud glam-rock music of the seventies.......2005-03-21

With a style that mixed lightweight, teenybopper music with heavy metal (a strange mix, indeed), Sweet ultimately ended up falling between the two, not pleasing anybody from either camp. Before that, they scored a string of UK hits including a number one (Blockbuster) and five number twos (Co-co, Hell raiser, Ballroom blitz, Teenage rampage, Fox on the run). Note that Fox on the run is an original song, not a cover of Manfred Mann's song. Little Willy and Wig-wam-bam both made number four in the UK. Their last major hit, Love is like oxygen, made the top ten in Britain and America - it actually did slightly better in America than Britain.

All seventeen of the Sweet's UK hits (including the minor hits) are here together with three album tracks that illustrate what Sweet wanted to do with their music. Having had their career controlled others (the production team of Chinn and Chapman), they cut loose on titles such as Restless and Set me free.

This is the definitive Sweet hits compilation. If you enjoy British glam-rock of the early seventies with a hard edge, you are likely to enjoy Sweet's music.

5 out of 5 stars Fresh Life!!.......2007-02-01

Last year, I had the great pleasure of meeting the lads that make up Nine Black Alps. Before I ever saw them play, I was intrigued by their wit and intellect.
Shortly afterwards, I was witness to the private performance of the songs on this EP, and I learned that that wit and keen analytical mindset is applied in their music.

First, I have to thank Nine Black Alps for pumping some fresh life into the rock / post grunge scene. These guys know how to rock - and still maintain the artistry / integrity to realize there's something to be said for simplicity and craft. Most of their work has been produced by Tom Rothrock / Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith), and you can see some of their ability to create warmth and emotions from the slightest guitar pickings at work here.

Glitter Gulch pulls together some b sides and rarities not found on their debut album Everything Is (which I also highly recommend).
The strongest track on this album (and maybe of any Nine Black Alps song) is String Me Along: beautifully arranged, simple, and straight to the point- as well as the heart.
That song alone makes this EP worth purchasing. But the tunes just keep coming.
This whole EP is worthwhile. Anyone interested in post grunge / indie rock should feel obligated to give these guys a chance.
Believe me, they will surprise you.

4 out of 5 stars A Vetty Vetty Brrritish band Indeed!.......2006-03-09

True, this album was recorded at a time when Slade were working hard at cracking the American market, but, nonetheless, produced another perfect Slade album for all! Whether you're looking to round out your Slade collection or for a great inroduction into the British/Glam/Platform Shoes phenoms, I would highly recommend this album!

After reading other reviews here, I find that I wasn't the only one who simply let side one (on vinyl) play over and over; listening to the first three selections is a blast! From the top-fortyish "Nobody's Fools" title track, to the grittier "Do the Dirty", as well as the totally-fun "Let's Call It Quits", this album is fun, frivolity, and mischievousness all rolled in to one! (Ironically the album also includes a tear-jerker (All The World Is A Stage) as the last selection. . .) Through it all, Neville Holder's famous vocals play Q and A with Lea's bass lines and Hill's guitar licks.

Don't settle for a greatest hits compilation when you can have it all ("Pack Up Your Troubles" could get air play on any folk radio station here in the 'states) with this album; it's music about life, the inevitable (death), romance, breaking up, winning, losing, business deals, and making the best of it by simply looking into yourself.

The true chemistry and genius of Holder/Lea/Hill/Powell certainly comes through, so sit back, let your emotions ride the roller coaster, and enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Noddy and the Boyz Rock! .......2005-02-06

I once read a review which said that this Slade lp was horrible.
In fact, the reviewer wrote the album Nobody's Fools..."Who says?"...WELL that reviewer was wrong and so were any other doubters of Slade's music and this album. In For a Penny is a powerful song as is the title track. Slade was always known for powerful percussion and caustic vocals - this lp is no exception.Like a previous reviewer wrote - I have worn my lp from constant play - get the cd - cuz its crazee!!!

4 out of 5 stars One Of The Best.......2003-07-11

I had to buy this on CD because I finally wore out the copy I had on vinyl because I played it so much! I feel that "Nobody's Fool" is one of the best songs ever. I used to play this at parties for the people that said they didn't like Slade, and after awhile their leg would be shakin' and their heads would be bobbin' up and down.

4 out of 5 stars strange.......2003-06-30

a bit of a strange one this; in my opinion slade were trying too hard to please their american audience (this was recorded during their two-year stint in the u.s.) by toning-down the glam and the rock.

even so still one of my faves; you can't fault a good song and jimmy lea has melodies by the bucket load....fave tracks of mine are l.a. jinx and all the world's a stage.

1 out of 5 stars SOUNDS LIKE KEE-RAP!!!.......2006-07-27

I was very excited when this came out since it was the first Slade collection to contain all of their UK chart hits. Imagine my surprise when I listened to it and discovered that the sound was awful! I thought this set was supposed to be remastered, but it sounds worse that any other Slade cd I own. What happened here? Did I get a bum copy? Fortunately, all of Slade's albums are now getting the deluxe treatment and are being remastered with bonus tracks along with a 4-cd boxset coming out in the fall. Until then, I guess I'm stuck with this sonically inept travesty.

    Customer Reviews:

    5 out of 5 stars great album.......2006-10-22

    i picked this up in 1999 at a local record store because the cover with the band picture made me think of another band i like alot named jackyl. jackyls album push comes to shove cover reminded me of this so i bought it. once hearing it i loved it and went out and started collecting all the slade records, only to learn that i had really been into this bands video run run away in 1984. and just about the same time as i got this record i went to a club locally and saw quiet riot who were the main band that got me into music way back in the early 80's so the slade connection was really strong there. funny how that all works out, but overall this album is great not a bad song on it noddy has the ultimate rock voice long live slade in re issues if thats the only way and this album needs one. it breathed new life into my music listening in 1999, just like jackyl did in 1994 when i picked up push comes to shove. the early 1990's were rather boring for music that i liked so jackyl woke me up , then a few years later in a lull i picked up slade and the same thing happened. anyways have fun listiening to slade if you get the chance pick up this record or any of their other albums

    4 out of 5 stars You won't sit down while listening to this album.......2003-09-30

    I think "Til deaf do us part" is one of Slade's finer efforts as well as their harder. "Lock up your daughters" with its melody and groove is without doubt a highlight in Slades's career, and the same goes for many of the song on this album. If you like earlier Slade, I bet you gonna like this album too, and if you just want some happy, non-serious party music with a lot of hooks - this album is perfect!

    4 out of 5 stars BEST SLADE STUDIO ALBUM.......2001-12-15

    I think this is the best SLADE album ever. It comes behind of ALIVE II, only.

    4 out of 5 stars forgotten album by Slade.......2001-12-07

    Well, it's sad this album is almost "forgotten" by Slade fans and no-fans alike, because Its their heavier record ever. Not a piece of clealry commercial music here, just straight ahead hard rock. Noddy Holder's vocals are aggressive and strong, the rest of the band is in an uncommon fast pace, and the album sounds fresh even nowadays. THis was their first RCA record, and I recommend it strongly.

        Album Details

        Slade were the Definitive '70s Glam Rock Band with 14 Top Ten Singles Between 1971 and '75. Noted for Large Platform Shoes, Reflective Clothing, Bad Spelling and Being from the Midlands. Unfortunately the Quality of their Biggest Records is Often Over-looked Because of their Garish Image. This Album Intends to Correct that Injustice.
