With their blitzkrieg glam-bop and outrageous image, clothes and make-up, Sweet were one of the UK singles chart’s Big Six along with T.Rex, Slade, Bowie etc. Whilst exerting a stranglehold over the Top 10 for most of the 70’s it was during the early part of the decade that they ruled. Turn on any radio, go to any disco, pass any playground and you’d hear Co-Co, Little Willy, Wig-Wam Bam, Blockbuster! and Teenage Rampage being played, chanted, whistled and sung, alternative national anthems each and every one. The Sweet were The People’s Band. Prepare then to be blitzed by an insane dash of glam-pop and a barrel full of metal.

• This is a comprehensive 2CD introduction to these 70s Glam-rock giants.

Does anybody know whether this Sweet collection is all original recordings, and not re-recordings and live stuff?

I'd be surprised if the Sweet collection was rerecordings. Music Club is pretty reliable.
