They were not to be disappointed! No expense was spared, beginning most notably with the elaborate gatefold sleeve which adorned the original vinyl release. The album was written and conceived almost entirely in the studio, which bassist Steve Priest likened to having a taxi meter running. (CHECK OUT HIS BOOK ARE YOU READY STEVE?) Apparently most of the band were fueled up on coke during the proceedings. As with the previous album Give Us A Wink Sweet were handling the production. The idea was to come up with a commercial rock 'n' roll album but having said that, the two singles lifted from it that open the record both failed to chart. Fever Of Love, the first track has a real warmth to it, especially Connolly's vocals, and a beautiful, soaring guitar break towards the end. Lost Angels, the next track has an everything but the kitchen sink production ... harmony guitar fills, Bad Company style riffing, Queen like shriek, multi layered vocals. Midnight To Daylight is pure, Sweet indulgence, in three and a half minutes. Begins like quite a commericial pop rock number before escalating into a guitar versus harmonica duel with a trick the D.J. ending. The album's killer cut is without a doubt Windy City, a lengthy lament punctuated by a riff not too disimilar to Deep Purple's Woman From Tokyo and a Led Zeppelin No Quarter type break which leads into a frenzied bass, drums, guitar work out. This remained a stage favourite for years and usually came as the encore to the band's show. Live For Today, which was the album's working title up until the conception of the actual album cover reflects to a certain extent the influence punk was beginning to have even on the "old farts", and probably the influence drink was beginning to have on Connolly's state of mind. Definitely an I want out song! She Gimme Lovin' is delivered at breakneck speed with swirling drums and a touch of the Robert Plant's while Hard Times has a loose, jam type feel to it. It is preceeded by a beautiful acoustic track called Laura Lee which here has been restored to segue into Show Me The Way, a hard edged electric/acoustic, slashing piece of action. This was initially scheduled to follow on without a break but ended up simply as the B side to California Nights.) Off The Record officially ended with what one reviewer described as a pointless Fame reworking, Funk It Up. Sure it's funky, but it's a worthwhile track reflecting the funky leanings of many of the so called heavier bands circa 1977. The bonus cuts include three B sides, A Distinct Lack Of Ancient, Why Don't You Do It To Me and Cover Girl (sounding more in place here than as an extra track on Level Headed.) Also featured is Stairway To The Stars, the last RCA single that was present only on the US version of Off The Record. Essentially, many would define this recording as Sweet at their peak but also the end of an era. Subsequent albums saw a definite change, once again, in direction, coupled with first a lessening of Brian Connolly's input and finally his departure. Highly recommended listening particularly if you enjoy bands like Deep Purple, Queen, Led Zeppelin ... more so than glam rock as you would expect.
