On 28 April 2009, Shout! Factory released a two-disc, career-spanning greatest hits album called Action: The Sweet Anthology. [18] It received a four-star (out of five) rating in Rolling Stone. [19] Sweet rose to the challenge set by Chapman's songs with ever more outlandish TV performances. Their golden-haired singer, Brian Connolly, snapped microphone stands over his knee as Scott blew him kisses. Bassist Steve Priest sported eyeliner, fake lashes and anything from red hot pants to a Nazi officer's uniform. None of the band was gay, in fact, and Priest was actually a quiet man who disliked the limelight.

The US version of Desolation Boulevard was different from the UK version and included several songs from Sweet Fanny Adams in addition to the "Ballroom Blitz" and "Fox on the Run" singles (both of which peaked at No. 5 in the US). Side One of the album contained all Chapman-Chinn penned songs, while Side Two featured songs written and produced by Sweet.lt;p>May contain Peanuts, Nuts, Sesame Seeds and Soya.

In 1984 Brian Connolly formed a new version of the Sweet without any of the other original members. Despite recurring ill health, Connolly toured the UK and Europe with his band, "Brian Connolly's Sweet", which was then renamed to "New Sweet". His most successful concerts were in West Germany, before and after reunification. With the addition of session and touring musicians keyboardist Gary Moberley and guitarist Nico Ramsden ( Byzantium, Boys Don't Cry), Sweet undertook a short European and Scandinavian tour followed by a single British concert at London's Hammersmith Odeon on 24 February 1978. However, " Love Is Like Oxygen" (January 1978) was their last UK, US, and German Top 10 hit. [4] [8] Scott was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for co-composing the song. One more single from the album, "California Nights" (May 1978), featuring Steve Priest as the lead vocalist, peaked at number 23 on the German chart.The Sweet's first full LP album, Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be, was released in November 1971. It contained a collection of the band's recent singles, supplemented by some new Chinn/Chapman tunes (including "Chop Chop" and "Tom Tom Turnaround") and pop covers (such as the Lovin' Spoonful's " Daydream" and the Supremes' " Reflections"). The album, recorded at Nova Studios in London, was produced by Phil Wainman and engineered by Richard Dodd and Eric Holland. It was not a serious contender on the charts.
