How did you procure the version you originally used on the comp?

(Hopefully you didn't use some godawful live version from MUCH later when the band was called Andy Scott's Sweet or something like that)

Also, Receiver Records, the label that is infamous for putting out a gazillion mediocre demo/live releases from the Fall have also done the same with (drum roll) Sweet. So, it's possible you have one of those version, in which case, it's 77 enough.

heh heh, the best thing you can say about Sweet covers is that they were definitely of their time x 10.

I think Jess speaks of the CDR cover upthread! Which is indeed amazing.

Oh that. Well, fuck hell yeah that's a great cover.

"Oh what release is this from! is it from THIS! is it from THAT! THIS or THAT, THIS or THAT, or when will this free ride ever EEEEEE-E-E-E-E-END..." < /sondheim>

Chances are you probably got a Receiver Records release version (i.e. some live or demo version), which is 77 enough.. don't sweat it. (Sadly my knowledge of different versions of Sweet songs to that degree ends around Give Us A Wink)

Actually, Nate, you never bothered to ask if I HAD THE GODDAMN "Off the Record" CD that could mp3 for you...

(which I do)

Whoops. (Well, all things considered, assuming the version I have is a '77 demo or something, I prefer it to the LP version.)
