Building on the momentum caused from the runaway success of Desolation Boulevard, Sweet forged ahead and shoved Give Us a Wink out to satisfy their growing legions of rabid fans. Doing it all without the aid of Chinn & Chapman, they truly held their destiny in their own hands for the very first time. "Action" gave them another Top Ten hit, and along with such other notable cuts as "Cockroach" and "Yesterday's Rain," they proved they had the goods. ~ James Chrispell
Sweet: Andy Scott (vocals, guitar, synthesizer); Steve Priest (vocals, bass guitar); Mick Tucker (vocals, percussion); Brian Connolly (vocals).

$15.15  
Digitally remastered by Dick Baxter (BMG Studios, March 1994).
Having made their LP debut with half an album's worth of repackaged oldies, the Sweet then followed through with an entire disc of the things, drawing from both their own recent back catalog and that of songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, to create a record of almost unholy pop pleasure. For the Sweet were not the only arrow in the Chinn and Chapman quiver. They were scoring hits, too, with New World, with their "Tom Tom Turnaround" ranking among the most mawkishly compulsive songs in the duo's entire catalog. Passing it on to the Sweet to cover for their own LP didn't simply make sense from a commercial point of view. It was also the first step toward establishing Chinnichap as a songwriting brand name that would ultimately ...
| | Sweet Off The Record CD (1977)
Give Us A Wink music CDs
$13.29 
This CD contains two non-LP B-sides which were mastered from scratchy vinyl.
After the international success of the self-produced "Fox on the Run," Sweet broke away from songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman in an attempt to shake their "pop puppets" and took a stab at conquering the hard rock album market. Sadly, a lot of their post-hit singles period output lacked the tight songwriting and hooks that made them famous, and this problem is in evidence on Off the Record. The band's musical approach seems schizophrenic on this album: songs like "Windy City" and "Live for Today" attempt a tough sound built on gritty lyrics and heavy guitar riffs, but this approach is undone by the overt slickness of the production, which tarts everything up with Queen-style harmonies and thickly-layered ...
| | Sweet Fanny Adams CD (1974)
Give Us A Wink songs
$13.29
Although they were often dismissed as a fluffy singles group in their day, Sweet crafted a handful of strong albums in the mid-'70s that sported some surprisingly muscular hard rock. A fine example of this trend is Sweet Fanny Adams. Although this album got little exposure in America on its own, over half of this album's contents ended up on the American edition of Desolation Boulevard. Sweet Fanny Adams' tone is set with the opening track, "Set Me Free," a fiery rocker that blends ultrahigh vocal harmonies to a furious succession of guitar riffs that jack the song up a level of speed metal frenzy. Other hard-rocking highlights include "No You Don't," a Queen-styled putdown ...
| | Sweet Desolation Boulevard CD (1974)
Give Us A Wink album
$11.09
Sweet originally began as a pre-packaged pop outfit for the producers/songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. By combining the crunch of hard rock with the hooks of bubblegum pop, the pair provided Sweet with its first handful of mindlessly effective hits in the early glam soaked '70s, notably "Little Willy," "Blockbuster," "Wig Wam Bam," and "Ball Room Blitz." Underneath this teen-pop glitz however, a real rock and roll band was smoldering. Determined to make its own statement and get out from under the Chinn-Chapman control ...

| | Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs Vol. 3 CD (1999)
Give Us A Wink songs
$13.05
Also available as part of 69 LOVE SONGS, a 3-CD box set on Merge (169).
The most understated and melancholy of the three volumes of 69 LOVE SONGS, this album includes some of the most emotionally affecting music of singer/songwriter Stephin Merritt's productive and varied career, hitting an early high point with the heart-wrenching piano ballad "Busby Berkeley's Dreams." As on the other volumes of 69 LOVE SONGS, eight of these 23 songs are sung by singers other than Merritt, with Shirley Simms, Dudley Klute, L.D. Beghtol, and Magnetic Fields drummer/keyboardist Claudia Gonson each taking two leads. Simms' multilayered "I'm Sorry I Love You" and Beghtol's near-operatic "For We Are the King of the Boudoir" are particular highlights, but the mordantly humorous call-and-response of Gonson and Merritt on the brilliant "Yeah! Oh Yeah!" is one of the highlights of the entire three-volume set, as is Merritt's deadpan Celtic folk parody "Wi' Nae Wee Bairn Ye'll Me Beget." The CD is available by itself or as part of the ...
