What a great song One of my Sweet favorites! Great guitar work by Andy Scott.

The Sweet weren't 'ahead' of their time. They were so IN their time. I mean you can't listen to 'Fox On The Run' and not think '70s' but they were damn great at it.

I really went for this song big time when I flipped the single over and heard THIS. Brilliant. Thanks for the upload.

John O'Brien

class song great solo from andy should have been one of the all time greats for me but due to bad managment bad luck and certainly there own fault it was never gonna be

As far as I am aware, wasn't this their little knock at the Mecca ballrooms. They were frequently banned and had the power cut etc for their 'lewd' act, playing too loud, going on too late etc etc lol

mecca didn't even exist when mohammed died.. he was illiterate and didn't write the quran! he died 632 quran 200 yrs down the rd.......

If it was about Mohammed it would talk about killing people, starting wars and having sex with 6 year olds.

Haven't heard this in 40 years, still great! Imagine my surprise at finding this heavy-duty gem on the B-side of my "Little Willy" 45. I was10. My Mom freaked out, but she let me keep it. Thanks Mom!

Per Vedby

This B-side was the most played recording from the Juke Box in our favourite burger bar back there in 73-74 .... Never liked Sweet in particular. maybe because they so very seldomly recorded and send out what they did best: The heavy stuff. Tis one lived up to the standards of the best in the 70ties. Respect.

They also hosted the original BBC Come Dancing shows, and sponsored the Miss World Beauty pageant - which was big news once upon a time

The Meccas were a string of nightclubs run by Mecca Group - who owned all sorts - earlier Locarno Ballrooms, and later Hard Rock Cafe. The big business side of the nightclub scene in the UK. The big wheel was Eric Morley- interestingly DJ Jimmy Savile made his name ( ! ) in his clubs. Many of the clubs were later rebadged as 'Tiffany's' - Rank bought them out in the 90s. Some of them are probably still clubs - others defiitley are Bingo halls

You are right, It was the B-Side to Little Willy.
