Original OZ 2LP released in 1975 on RCA Records. Cat: CPL2-7084. Comes in gloss gatefold sleeve.
Strung Up, a double album comprised of three-year-old live material plus a mishmash of old and new studio work. The concert recordings are the revelation. For all their reputation as mere purveyors of whatever their puppet masters offered them, the Sweet had developed into one of the most exciting live bands on the mid-'70s U.K. circuit, as sonically dynamic as they were visually alluring. Not for nothing had the band's sexually charged stage show been banned from one of the country's leading ballroom chains; not for nothing did Ritchie Blackmore join them on-stage in California one night. No matter how far their crown slipped in chart terms, in concert the Sweet would never let you down and, though the Strung Up tapes dated back to 1973 and a phenomenal show at the London Rainbow, they had not dated in the slightest. The studio cuts concentrating in the main on the self-composed B-sides that the band had long insisted upon, a few recent singles ("The Six Teens," "Fox on the Run," and "Action"), and a couple of songs laid down during the sessions for the band's last studio LP, Desolation Boulevard.
Tracks : Hellraiser/ Burning - Someone else will/ Rock ’n’ roll disgrace/ Need a lot of lovin’/ Done me wrong alright/ You’re not wrong for lovin’ me/ The man with the golden arm/ Action/ Fox on the run/ Set me free/ Miss demeanour/ Ballroom blitz/ Burn on the flame/ Solid gold brass/ The six teens/ I wanna be committed/ Blockbuster.
