More Info
• 2 CD revamp of the debut album by Glam Rock 70’s legends The Sweet.
• The 28 tracks concentrate on the bands “Bubblegum” period before their transformation into Glam / Hard Rock Demi Gods.
• Includes the massive selling hit singles ‘Funny Funny’ (No. 13 UK, No 5 Germany), ‘Co-Co’ (No.2 UK, No. 1 Germany), ‘Alexander Graham Bell’ (No.33 UK, No.25 Germany), ‘Poppa Joe’ (No. 11 UK, No.3 Germany), ‘Little Willy’ (No. 4 UK, No.1 Germany, No.3 USA) and ‘Wig Wam Bam’ (No.4 UK, No.1 Germany, No.6 Australia).
• Also features their four non charting 45’s which are now highly prized collector’s items.
• The heavier self composed B-sides are also featured which saw them beloved of the likes of Def Leppard and Poison and many other Rock bands who cited The Sweet as a major influence – they were one of the few Glam era bands to cross over and be accepted by the Rock audience.
• Booklet includes original UK LP artwork, illustrations of rare European picture sleeves and brand new in-depth liner notes by Dave Thompson who was responsible for the Sweet book “Block Buster”.
