[2][3] This unusual alliance between two groups so radically opposed is attributed to that, in that time, both shared the same record producer (John Burgess) and the same team of composers.

After the poor commercial results with Burgess, in 1971 The Sweet decided to follow their own way, signing with the successful duet of songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and with a new producer, Phil Wainman.

The band's then-guitarist was Mick Stewart (who replaced original guitarist Frank Torpey) and wrote two of the featured B-sides on this compilation.

In their comedy characters, Tony Burrows sings with a harsh voice and Roger Greenaway with a falsetto, accompanied by an uncredited studio band that plays all the instruments.

Among them stands out the humorous song "Gimme Dat Ding", a success in several English-speaking countries around the world, composed by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood.
