Action: The Sweet Anthology is the first definitive Sweet 2-CD set and contains a whopping 32 tracks, including songs never before available on CD. The collection boasts every U.S. and U.K. charting hit from the 1970s, including "Ballroom Blitz", "Fox On The Run", "Little Willy" and "Love Is Like Oxygen". Sweet combined '70s glam style with guitar-driven tunes that were at the same time irresistibly catchy. They came to prominence with their smash hit "Little Willy" in 1973, and continued to release chart-toppers, properly representing the emerging British glam scene on this side of the pond. They did, however, successfully transition into an album-rock band with the release of Give Us A Wink, which produced the single "Action."

These '70s glam gods recently brought their freewheeling rock back to the stage, playing over 100 shows a year. Along with the new song Sweet Dream and a rare studio recording of I Saw Her Standing There , here are boisterous live versions of Wig Wam Bam; Set Me Free ; the hits Ballroom Blitz; Little Willy; Fox on the Run; Action; Blockbuster , and more!

They were glam, they were hams, and they made great singles. From "Little Willy" on, they forged a pop sound, always with a sly wink at the audience, never taking themselves too seriously. But when you had songs like "Ballroom Blitz," "Blockbuster," and "Fox on the Run," who really cared if you wore more makeup than a phalanx of runway models? For several years, Sweet could do absolutely no wrong. The remarkable thing is that, some quarter of a century on, the great stuff still sounds as fresh and as fun as it did when everyone wore feather cuts. --Chris Nickson
