It's the DVD that really has me excited. I played these guys very often in the 70's and continue to reach for their stuff. I will be getting this.

Rick A. I'm also excited about that DVD. Sweet were one of the first bands I fell in love with and also continue to reach for their stuff. Even love Off the Record.

Rick A. Unfortunately Region 2 DOES NOT work on the OPPO. I recently picked up a 3 DVD Region 2 set of Joe Cocker performances including one at Rockplast, which is what I really wanted most of this three separate shows in the box. The audio DOES work, but the video does not.......... Been watching the availability of this Sweet set myself. Hopefully it'll be released eventually as a Region 0 PAL, or maybe even domestically......

My Denon 3910 is region free so it may work on that player. Guess I can always resell it the DVD if it doesn't work (but not much of a market for The Sweet).

Got my Sweet box the other day but haven't had a chance to put it into the player and see what happens, hopefully on Wednesday.

Ok put the DVD ( #2 which has the videos) and my PS3 brought up a screen asking What Country Are You From? What Is Your Date Of Birth? So I selected UK (figuring if I put in USA it wouldn't open the Region 2) and lo and behold the DVDs will play on my PS3, so it's cool that Sony must have added Region Free play during one of their past updates. Fun to see the old videos from the 70s (obviously not sophisticated for the era) but the sound 2 channel stereo sounds fine and the picture quality is ok since its from video or VHS quality video I would guess. Some of the songs I'm listening to are Ballroom Blitz, Teenage Rampage, The Six Teens, Fox On The Run and Action!

The bonus videos on DVD2 Sweet Music Videos is really special, even better than the offical videos!
Interesting how the band changed from a teen pop group to a glam metal rock group to a progressive rock group (Love Is Like Oxygen) and finally a last gasp as an 80s new wavish type band (looking a bit like Duran Duran).
one particular great little song that I was unfamiliar with is X-Ray Specs from some TV music show.
But they've always made great earworm pop music.

Congrats in getting it to play. Hopefully we will see a Region free in the near future. Once that occurs, I will immediately order.
