Sweet - New York Connection Clear [Clear Vinyl] (Uk)

One of the most legendary, influential and enduring names in rock music history, Sweet, will re-release their 2012 studio album "New York Connection" via Metalville Records. The release will see the album being pressed for the first time in coloured vinyl and a special edition CD with bonus tracks not included on the original release."New York Connection" is a selection of material that was originally written by other artists, to which the band has unmistakably put their signature sound on. So is it a boring cover album? Well, no! Not really! This time it's a little different! Aside from a decent selection of must-haves - Andy Scott, said we have also added guitar riffs, drum beats or vocal lines from our own classics where appropriate.So their rendition of "It's All Moving Faster" incorporated the guitar line from Sweet's "Burn On The Flame" while "Blitzkrieg Bop" by The Ramones used elements of "The Ballroom Blitz".Although the most obvious example is the fusion of Russ Ballard's "New York Groove" (previously covered by both Hello and former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley) and Jay-Z's "Empire State Of Mind". Amazingly, it works!
