Sweet Fanny Adams

Released

In 1974 Sweet achieved a near-perfect balance between their own creative chemistry and the continuing song supply of the Mike Chapman/Nicky Chinn team on their stand-alone singles, something which the exuberant and harder rocking than ever Sweet Fanny Adams demonstrated to the full. The two Chinnichap numbers here are both monsters — “AC-DC” and especially “No You Don’t” — while the album as a whole kicks off with the high-speed “Set Me Free” as other numbers like “Rebel Rouser” and “Sweet F.A.” keep up the pace.
