Andy Scott’s SWEET – Sweet Fanny Adams Revisited (2025) *HQ*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ

“Sweet Fanny Adams Revisited” is a fiery live re-imagining of The SWEET seminal 1974 album Sweet Fanny Adams, recorded live in 2012 by Andy Scott’s line-up. The album had become pretty rare since its release and had been out of print for some time. Now “Sweet Fanny Adams Revisited” will be re-released on CD by Metalville on August 8th, remastered.
As the press release states: “Between 2010 and 2012, many SWEET shows were recorded in various countries, and “Sweet Fanny Adams Revisited” (recorded at a concert in 2012) delivers the very essence of these extraordinary performances. The success of the original 1973 album “Sweet Fanny Adams” was the catalyst that propelled Sweet to worldwide superstar status. As a live performance almost 40 years after the release of the original album, “Sweet Fanny Adams Revisited” offers the finest Sweet classic hard rock. The band around Andy Scott presents itself in top form and impressively transports the special magic of the highly commercial power songs back to the stage.“
In fact two songs from the original ’73 LP are completely omitted – namely ‘Rebel Rouser’ and ‘Peppermint Twist’ which are replaced in the live set by ‘The Six Teens’ (the opening track of Desolation Boulevard their next album), and classics ‘Fox on the Run’ (Also from Desolation Boulevard) and ‘Ballroom Blitz’ (The September 1974 single released 5 months after ‘Sweet Fanny Adams’).
As an album it sounds great, Sweet always sounded better live, and this Andy Scott version of the band has a hard rock edge.

It’s a a record that captures latter day Sweet nicely. Opener ‘Sweet F.A.’ sounds in fine fettle, rocking hard, with a furious solo and driving beat to get things going. The sonic approach is well away from the Glam and into Hard Rocking and it sounds all the better for it.
There’s touches here and there that really work like the flamenco seasoning to ‘The Six Teens’ and Pete Lincoln’s vocals are solid throughout.

In truth though as you might expect it’s ‘Fox on the Run’ & ‘Ballroom Blitz’ that soar to steal the show, harder edged and heavier. This is testament to the songs which sound maybe even better with age showing the new band’s stage confidence nearly four decades after the songs were written.
It’s not just nostalgia—it’s proof that these songs defy the passage of time.
