Title: BEST OF SWEET
Street Release Date: 05/04/1993
Domestic
Genre: ROCK/POP
They were glam, they were hams, and they made great singles. From "Little Willy" on, they forged a pop sound, always with a sly wink at the audience, never taking themselves too seriously. But when you had songs like "Ballroom Blitz," "Blockbuster," and "Fox on the Run," who really cared if you wore more makeup than a phalanx of runway models? For several years, Sweet could do absolutely no wrong. The remarkable thing is that, some quarter of a century on, the great stuff still sounds as fresh and as fun as it did when everyone wore feather cuts. --Chris Nickson

Albert Arias (san antonio,texas)
great great cd!One of the most underated bands in history!I ignored them back when i was eighteen during the seventies but now that I am 56 I am looking back at that period and rediscovering other bands. The Sweet are great and the the media did not give them their due.
Awesome! October 26, 2009

A Great Music CD! June 14, 2009
Karen Schneider (Fort Wayne, IN USA)
The Best of Sweet is a great CD. I love the song "Fox On The Run" and I can't help singing to it and even dancing. Other favorites are "Little Willie" and "Love is Like Oxygen". All the songs on this CD are good.
cool classics! May 13, 2008

If you are into the "love is like oxygen" song with its awesome unique sounding guitar and beat, then there is nothing like having the original by sweet. In addition, this cd has "ballroom blitz", which I love by Krokus...I had no idea it was an original from Sweet, so when I heard it on this cd I really liked it, and the price....sweeeeter! LOL
Nearly perfect April 13, 2008
Fredric A. Cooper (Los Angeles, CA)
This is probably the best single-disc overview of The Sweet's career. My only complaint is the one glaring ommission, and that is "Hellraiser". I would have swapped the cliche-ridden "The Lies In Your Eyes" for the genuine stormer that is "Hellraiser", which often opened their concerts back in the glory days of the '70s. Of the later material, "Lost Angels" is the lost hit by the band; it should have been released in the USA, but instead we got "Funk It Up", a rather lame disco-tinged number, which actually charted but is thankfully missing from this collection.
