If anyone has a detailed account of The Sweet's career in the seventies,
look no further than Jan Frewer. Jan had been the bassist and vocalist
for sixties band Wainwright's Gentleman, who for a while included lead
vocalist Ian Gillan. Gillan was replaced by Brian Connolly, who along
with the band's drummer Mick Tucker went on to form The Sweet. As Jan
explains, "I have written a daily diary since I was given my first one
on Christmas Day 1959. It is now 2022 and I have never missed doing my
bedtime diary in all that time - not a single day." Jan kept in contact
with his former bandmates and before too long he found himself with a
new career as The Sweet's sound engineer. Compiled from Jan's diaries
this book is a fly on the wall record of The Sweet during those heady
days on the 1970s. A time when The Sweet was never far from everyone's
consciousness with regular TV appearances and their hit records
constantly on the radio. This unique book is a delight for Sweet fans
around the world with treasured information direct from the source -
from a man who was there along the journey with Brian, Mick, Steve and
Andy as The Sweet became seventies' superstars.
