Format:Audio CD
Typical Sweet funk and noise from 1971-until 1975..the ultimate GLAM band with Brian on lead vocals and Steve on comical back up vocals!..Andy running the group because of Brian's Alcohol problem..and supurb drummer 'Mick Tucker' with a formula texture of of all four giving a vocal arrangement that has not been matched since..TOTAL GLAM!..even when Steve was a bit over the top...But i blame that on 'Pans People!'A snap and a bargain!..T.C.

I'm on holiday at a holiday park and every night they play Sweet during the evenings entertainment. I get home and feel a compulsion to go out and buy a Sweet album. This is the only album I can find.
The first disc contains what I think are most of their hits except Love Is Like Oxygen which, strangely isn't on it. A couple of filler tracks complete the line up. Disc two seems to be a perspective of some of their album stuff.
Sweet made some killer music in their day and whilst the recordings do sound a bit dated now the music is very catchy and has certainly stood the test of time. Can't argue with the Chin and Chapman partnership. The second disc is interesting in that you get a chance to hear what Sweet are really like behind the pop hits. They are surprisingly rocky but this is likely to appeal more to the fans than the casual listener.
Overall, this is a good compilation if you want some Sweet music. Pity it does not feature all of their singles.

Blockbuster by Sweet
Good 70's music CD. It's nice to take a trip down memory lane. Sounds like this will never be recorded again by todays 'artists'.

avoid at all costs
Never received my item and looking at the feedback for melancoly hill neither did anyone else. If you see anything offered by these people AVOID.

Quality
The first disc is packed full of their classic hits and was high quality music throughout. I thought it was brilliant. Read more

Best of the Sweet? Almost
Weird mix of really childish rhyming lyrics in some songs to others covering sexuality and other more racy (remember them? haha) subjects. Read more

Blockbuster Review
This really was a good purchase and listening to the music again 40 years on from when I first heard it brings back may fond memories of flared trousers and platform shoes. Read more
