Sweet: (Bubblegum Glam)

Melody Maker, January 22, 1972 . NEW POP SINGLES BY CHRIS WELCH SLADE: "Look Wot You Dun" (Polydor). High drama and more menacing beat from the chart lucky combo who brought boot stomping back to pop. Another hit? Let's have a look at the tea leaves? I see a tall, dark stranger. He is probing through sheaves of documents. Good grief, it's the income tax inspector! Swill those cups! Relying on intuition and a strange twinge in the right toe, I'd say, ahoy for another smash.

Sweet wish you a very glam Christmas – with a wink and a stomp! New Musical Express, December 25, 1971. More festive glam cheer added weekly
