After recording Level Headed, an album that mostly forsaked their hard rock leanings for pure pop, longtime lead vocalist Brian Connolly left Sweet for good. The rest of the group decided to press on as a trio, combining their pop/rock sound with a variety of other musical styles in a bid to gain a more progressive image. The result was Cut Above the Rest, a bizarre combination of the hard-rocking pop that dominated classic Sweet singles with progressive flights of fancy in a 10cc/Electric Light Orchestra vein, plus a dash of lounge lizard-ish soft rock balladry thrown in to cover all the pop/rock bases. There's no way an album that tries do so many things at once could succeed at all of them, but Cut Above the Rest is a surprisingly listenable affair…

Sweet's earliest recordings - the clutch of 45s issued in the U.K. and Europe between 1968 and 1971 - made it out in a variety of forms in the years following the band's initial breakthrough. Strangely, however, it was not until 1991 - a full 20 years after "Funny Funny" gave them their long-awaited first hit - that the entire canon was pulled together, as Repertoire raided the vaults not only of Fontana and Parlophone, the band's first two labels, but also visited some less-familiar directions as well. The bulk of First Recordings 1968-1971 - tracks one through eight - comprises all four original singles, a mixed bag that ran from the unadulterated pop of "Lollipop Man" and "Slow Motion" to the convincing harder rock of "The Juicer"…

A rare and collectable 2-on-1 LP, originally released in the 1970s and featuring two top fun groups from that wonderfully colourful decade, is now revived and remastered on one fun-packed CD. The Sweet, regular chart toppers and the ultimate Glam Rock heroes, are represented here by 12 rare tracks, including The Lollipop Man and All You Ever Get From Me . The Pipkins unleashed the highly popular and humorous Gimme Dat Ding , a Top 5 novelty song in 1970. It's featured here with 7 other songs, including Yakety Yak and 2 rare Single B-sides. Booklet features liner notes by respected author and journalist Chris Welch. Expertly remastered, superb sound, top quality reproduction - The best in the business!

Platinum Rare VOL 2 captures the four founding and original members of the legendary Glam/Hard Rock band The SWEET.

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.

Recollections of Britain's arch-glam gods generally inspire two theories of their producers, Mike Chapman and his partner, Nicky Chinn. Either they knew just what they were doing and calculated accordingly, or blindly hit pay dirt, following toothless early singles like "Funny Funny" (none of which grace this disc). By this reckoning, Sweet was a '70s-era pinup band or a closeted hard rock quartet who only got their due after breaking the Chapman/Chinn combination…
