Sweet Fanny Adams is the second album by Sweet, released on 26 April 1974 through RCA Records.[2][3][4]
Leer másAlso their first album simply as Sweet. The album was a turning point and change in the band`s sound, featuring more of a hard rock sound than their previous pop record.
The album title is English (originally Royal Navy) slang originating from the murder of eight-year-old Fanny Adams in 1867 and means "nothing at all" as well as a similar euphemism "F.A." = "fuck all".
Sweet Fanny Adams reached No. 27 on the UK Albums Chart in the year of its release by RCA Records in 1974 and No. 2 in the albums chart of West Germany. It was not released in the US, but five of its tracks appeared on the US version of the album Desolation Boulevard released in July 1975.
