The Sweet
'Sweet Fanny Adams'
RCA, UK, 1975
LPL1 5038
FIRST ALBUM from the Sweet displaying their new forward thinking hard rock direction in effect ditching their power pop legacy for something a lot meatier. The riffs on this album are superb - real bone crunching stuff with great melodies, shout-it-loud hooks and killer vocals from Brian Connolly. A rack of superb songs including the Deep Purpleish 'Set Me Free', 'Heartbreak Today' , 'Rebel Rouser', 'Restless' and the crushing 'Into The Night'.
I guess the thing about the Sweet was that they were always a stonking hard rock band desperately trying to break out of the pop niche that producers Chinn and Chapman had carved out for them. Well, this album flies 180 degrees in the opposite direction of pop. Its a wonderful testament to the power of great hard rock like the Who jamming with Deep Purple with a distinct sound and songs to die for.
Beautiful copy and getting so hard to find.
This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
