  1. The B-side to their 1973 single “Blockbuster” (which also kicks ass) but should have been an A side, in my humble opinion. Whatever the case, it got airplay at my first radio gig. I made sure of that.

  7. "Back on My Feet Again" is a song by #TheBabys. It was released in 1979 as a single from their album #UnionJacks. The song is the band's final Top 40 hit, peaking at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was originally written for #TheSweet, who made a demo recording of it in 1979, under the name "Yesterday's Hero" and with other lyrics. However, it was never released because the band's bass player, Steve Priest, hated it.

  11. Once upon a time about 53 years ago my older brother came home from the local Woolworth’s with the single “Blockbuster” by The Sweet which I’ve always liked but it was the B side the 8 year old me REALLY latched onto. And I continue to stay latched onto it here on deck less than a week from birthday 61. 😉

  15. Visste inte att basisten körde #Rickenbacker. Härligt! Hade en själv när det begav sig. Sälj aldrig instrument! 😀

  17. "Love is like oxygen" - The Sweet

    Well, that's a bit different! The Sweet put down their usual stompy glam sound, and go for yelped lyrics over a squealing guitar.

    Nominated for song of the year at the prestigious Ivor Novello awards, but lost to Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.
