Miss Demeanor ?

Steve Priest lead singing on it. Was a B-side for Fox on the Run?
I think Capitol should have put it on their butchered version of Desolation BLVD.

The B-side of "Fox On The Run" was "Burn On The Flame" (I still have the 45")

At least it was in the U.S. "Miss Demeanor" must have been on the UK version.

But what Capitol did to that album was ridiculous. They butchered Sweet's albums far worse than they did The Beatles.

Yeah, I believe it was BMG Germany that released these remastered editions. Not sure if they got a US release or not, but CDconnection.com the best CD/DVD store on the web! (http://www.cdconnection.com) had them. Probably still do.

Yes it was the UK flip side from RCA.

The album version of Fox on the Run is great too.

I think this band has to win the prize for compilations and greatest hits collections.
And now Andy Scott has a touring version of Sweet somewhere and Steve Priest has one in California.

Loved the 'Give Us A Wink' Remaster, Fav cut 'Keep It In' listen to the drums while Andy Scott plays the solo, amazing! I wish there were bands like this around today.

Damn good band. Even after they went kinda wimpy in the 80's...

Come on- who didn't love Love is Like Oxygen???? I suppose we should have seen it with Little Willy.
