Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great performance.Less than perfect recording........2005-02-17

Some fans who have this disc may wonder why the disc is in somewhat gritty mono sound,even though some of the songs appeared in full-fidelity stereo on the album "Strung Up".It can be explained.Two recordings were made of this show:a multitrack recording and a mono soundboard tape.Unfortunately,the snare drum never made it onto the multitrack,forcing drummer(the late) Mick Tucker to dub in a newly performed snare drum in the studio...but only for the songs that the group was planning to release.For the other songs,the only tape with the snare drum is the mono soundboard tape.Some previous reissues(such as the one on the DOJO label) combined the available stereo tracks with the rest in mono.This release is entirely from the mono soundboard tape,hence it is totally free of studio overdubbing and doctoring.It is what the audience heard at the show.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet-"Live from London 1973".......2004-11-12

This album,is "Sweet" at their best,all the way from "Little Willy" to their soon to be released "Teenage rampage".It includes their only number one hit,"Blockbuster" and includes the song that has since become their anthem,the classy chinn-chapman compilation,"The Ballroom Blitz".It is unlike any other live album,because the songs sound almost the same as the studio.Moreso it shows the group at their personal best!!!!
