Blockbuster!: The True Story of the Sweet

I've been a true fan of the Sweet since I saw them on TOTP as a very small American girl living in Scotland in the early 70s. It's hard to find anything in print about the Sweet, and this book was a great read, having alot of fun facts, hard truths, unpleasant moments, and just pure joy for those of us who have always loved this band and miss Brian and Mick!

Mick is one of my all-time fave drummers, and influence me as a drummer to start my own fall-female rock band in the early 90s. I own everything the Sweet ever did and anything that ever comes out on this overlooked band is something I will always purchase and always recommend, as it's so few and far between. This book was, IMHO, a great read about a great band!

This is a nice book for fans of The Sweet band. Perhaps one of the most underrated and influential British rock bands of the 1970's. This book is packed with details, Quotes, interviews and photo's of the band memebers Brian Connolly, Mick Tucker, Andy Scott, and Steve Priest . It was written with the approval of Steve Priest. I don't think it is the definitive book on the band but it is well researched and loaded with alot of imformation, recordings, tours, management problems, etc. I think most Sweet fans would be happy to have it. I do wish it went into more of their personal lives , wives, children, girlfriends, especially Brian Connolly the handsome lead singer who passed away tragically at age 51. Brian was the heart and soul of Sweet. I feel there is a much deeper story to be told. The pictures in the book are great but some were a bit grainy. Still it is one of the only books about Sweet. I'm happy to have it. I really love the Steve Priest book "Are You Ready Steve?", but it has been out of print several years. I heard it may be back in print soon. If you love The Sweet don't miss this one!! Rest in Sweet peace Mick and Brian and Rock ON!!

Loved this book. Good thing it was on Ebooks because nobody carries the book!

Great music review of these glam rock kings. Not a lot of personal info on the guys, but good info on the albums/tracks.
