Sweet

Melodic glam rockers with infectious hooks and brutal riffs, who scored a series of smash hits in the '70s culminating with "Ballroom Blitz." In some ways, the Sweet epitomized all the tacky hubris and garish silliness of the early '70s. Fusing bubblegum melodies with crunching, fuzzy guitars, the band looked a heavy metal band, but were as tame as any pop group. It was a dichotomy that served them well, as they racked up a number of hits in both the U.K. and the U.S. Most of those hits were written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, a pair of British songwriters who had a way with silly, simple, and catchy hooks. Chinn/Chapman and Sweet were smart enough to latch on to the British glam rock fad, building a safer, radio-friendly and teen-oriented version of Queen, T. Rex, and Gary Glitter. By the end of the '70s, the group's time at the top of the charts had expired but their hit singles lived on not only as cultural artifacts, but also as the predecessors for the pop-metal of the '80s. This is a repackaging of two previously released discs: Live At The Marquee and Andy Scott's Sweet "A", combined in a cardboard slipcase.

Sweet Smoke Live is the third release from the progressive jazz rock band Sweet Smoke. Released in 1974 it was their second record to feature only two tracks, the first being their debut effort Just a Poke. It showcases the band's live talents with extended jamming, the guitar solos are the showcase. It was recorded live in Berlin, Musikhochschule. The last track is actually two songs that were combined during the LP engineering. The tracks were later listed separately when three additional tracks were added to the 2001 CD re-release. After the 1997 CD re-issue had already used a different cover than the original LP, the cover for the 2001 re-release was changed again, re-using the typographical design of the LP cover.

The Sweet is a British Rock Band with a pedigree of hits! "Fox on The Run," "Ballroom Blitz," "Action," "Love is Like Oxygen" and many more. The 1975 album "Desolation Boulevard" has truly stood the test of time keeping the band as relevant today as it was back then. Much to the excitement of fans worldwide, Sweet has released a new album "Isolation Boulevard" which is a reworking of many of the original tracks including the latest single "Set Me Free," written by original guitarist and producer Andy Scott. He has led the band since 1985 maintaining the high standards set more than 50 years ago when The Sweet first burst onto the music scene. "Isolation Boulevard" was recorded between lockdowns in September/October 2020. The new album harks back to The Sweet's golden era and the 1975 album "Desolation Boulevard." The latest single and video "Set Me Free" is taken from "Isolation Boulevard" and though it is one of the bands most covered songs, this is the first time The Sweet has released it as a single.
