Sweet like many bads got swept up in the Parana like greed of the corporate music industry. It didn't help the Brian got the crap kicked out of him no more than 7 miles from where I now live when yob's tried to vandalize his new car and he stepped in. Things were never thew same really after that, bu the way the place this took place was Egham near Staines in surrey UK. sorry forgotten what the car was? From this point on sadly Brian's drinking and self drug abuse was sparked bigtime by this event. Not syre if it's Andy or Mike who is the sole surviver of the band left now? Fuck just realized I'm sounding like some Aging Chick! lol! My friend now passed on Magg's she was rortally in love with Brian Connelly way back then regardless of him singing about his "Little Willie"! lol! Ah! great day's, thanks for posting.

REAL music back in the day, not this twee, factory produced shit of today. All electronic and soulless. However early introduction of the Synth to "ADD" to a piece was great. I do Midi Stuff on my keyboards and if you lay the tracks down as they are the song is almost soulless, you have to them add your personality via the synths perameters to give it life, the result is something really different with some if not all feeling, depending how you look a it. The late 70's and early 80's when the synth REALLY took over still had the personality of the human's producing the music, plus wortds or lyric's still meant something then, not just all about shagging as it is today (ironically in a time now when getting a shag is pretty slight) ! lol! Yep this stuff like Sweet (or The Sweet) as some called them, was my testosterone filled Teen's to a "T"! lol!

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: The MINI MOOG. did you know Robert Moog didn't invent the Synth as an musical instrument, nope it only had a piano keyboard to operate it by accident. It was originally developed for Advertising and as a tool to make sounds for Advert's on Radio and TV. Although mechanical I still think the Melotron was the first synth arguably. I mean John Lennon was using the Melotron as early as 1966 on the Revolver Album. do you reme

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Yep thats the version I remember well because I had just left School and got a job in the Parts Store at a Local BMC Car Garage, and this seemed to be on the radio all the time. In those day's the music "Radio 1" was piped through the stores and workshops as well.

@mrghoster: We used to get these 16mm science / worldly things films show to us - AND the Hot Buttered version of Pop Corn was the theme song of the movie... I can still remember seeing the movies and listening to the audio track... especially at the end. https://youtu.be/uS3_SgILyy8?t=145

This chick is having to play in a time shift, because it takes time from the moment she opens the air valve, to the time the air picks up speed and then resonates the reed, it's only a small delay, but you can see she can't play it normally, and then hold the note, she has to play the mechanism producing the note, ahead of time, so the note sounds at the right time, for the right period of time.... https://www.mgtow.tv/watch/8gLF6qaUzQkyKLG

She starts to struggle with this going out of synch more and more and then she just switches technique to play the song.
