Customer Reviews:

great comp.......2004-06-17

This is a German-produced collection. For all Sweet's popularity in Britain, they achieved their greatest success in Germany. This collection focuses on their singles. Some of the other reviewers lament the non-inclusion of album tracks such as "Sweet F.A.". Yes, the album tracks in general are not much represented here. But lots and lots of singles are, including the really early ones, like "Funny, Funny" and "Co-Co" from way back in 1971.

FINALLY AN ALMOST COMPLETE SWEET HITS.......2004-01-13

Searching for the best of bests of Sweet is tiresome. They have more greatest hits/bests of/very bests of/etc packages than they had original albums. This one pretty much ends your quest. It's the best. Funny it's never released in the US.

It's very extensive and inclusive. All major hits are here: Action, Hellraiser, Blockbuster, Ballroom Blitz, Fox on the run, Love is like oxygen; plus minor, if not a bit simple, so-called "bubblegum pop" hits: Coco, Little Willy, Wig Wam Bam...

There are so many songs that inevitably some are fillers and they could have included "Set Me Free" or "Chop Chop" (ergo "almost complete"), but knowing other Sweet compilations I shouldn't complain. This is the completest.

If you are new to Sweet get this CD, you'll be amazed how such a great band Sweet had been. They are the best glam rock band of all times. Far superior than any of the neo-glam, hair-spray metal of 80's or their contemporaries like Slade, Mud, T Rex. Well, no one's really better that Queen of course but Sweet came first. Wish they could catch up with times. They disbanded in the 80's, then their vocalist and I believe drummer died. Their effect on today's music is still going on though, i.e. the Darkness.

almost Perfect Compilation!.......2003-09-24

if you skip the last songs one each CD (Man with the Golden Arm & the Sweet & Foxy Dance Mix) it's a phenomial collection!

it really does a good job covering their work thru time & even more impressive they do a good job filling up the CD!
Paperback Writer, Midnight To Daylight, Lucille/Great Balls of Fire were all previously unreleased when this came out! Those were the main reasons I got this out of German and I'm really glad I did! It's a great set!

while it's really good to me it was missing a few essentials! with the 2 I said to skip I burned over copies for my car and had room for 5 more songs on each CD....Now just missing I Wanna be Commited....don't have that one on CD yet!

don't know why they left off Solid Gold Brass, Sweet FA & Chop Chop those are all well know ones to!

This is a compilation that is Worth the Money!

BIG SURPRISE.......2000-06-26

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A "DESOLATION BOULEVARD" FAN. THEN ONE DAY MY GIRLFRIEND TURNED ME ON TO THIS ALBUM.I NEVER KNEW THAT THERE WERE SO MANY "SWEET" SONGS THAT I HAVE LOVED FOR YEARS. FROM "LOVE IS LIKE OXYGEN" TO MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG WHEN I WAS JUST A KID, "LITTLE WILLY". SWEET IS TRULY AMAZING ,EVEN IN THIS DAY AND AGE !
