This band re-written and re-recorded song from Desolation Boulevard is a demonstration of The Sweet's more sophisticated arrangement abilities. It's slick, it's hip (for 1975) and it's not metal. It's a great glam style single, though.
The flipside is where The Sweet were really coming from, though - muscular rock music with strong Queen flavours, and neat twists. In this case, the twist includes a section of improv and some pretty neat shredding, with a funky twist. This jazzy section sounds surprisingly modern and tight.
While there are strong metal leanings - indeed, it's more metal than many NWoBHM releases, there are a huge number of other influences too, which may make this a little unsatisfying for a Metal fan - however, as with most of the self-written Sweet material, you get a lot more than you bargain for on the metal front. Miss Demeanour is definitely worth a spin, and, who knows, Fox on the Run could become a guilty pleasure.
If you can track it down, there's a UK EP release which has Hellraiser, Blockbuster and Ballroom Blitz in addition to the title track - a complete wild, screamalong headbang party on a 45.
