Give Us A Wink - четвертый полностью хард-роковый студийный альбом выдающейся группы. В США он достиг 27 места, но в Британии вообще не попал в хит-парад.
Состоящая из полностью авторских композиций, «Give Us A Wink!» представляет собой идеальное собрание рок-песен. “The Lies In Your Eyes, “4th of July”, “Cockroach” или хит Топ-5 “Action” не нуждается в лишних представлениях и дифирамбах: эти работы привлекают внимание сами по себе. Впрочем, в 1976 году группе пришла идея создать необычную «подмигивающую» упаковку, которая при этом стал культовой. В последующих переизданиях ради удешевления альбома от этого хода было решено отказаться. Впрочем, в юбилейном переиздании подмигивающий глаз возвращается на место — это меньшее, что можно сделать, чтобы отдать дань уважения фантастической музыке группы и их общей креативности.
Юбилейное переиздание альбома на 180-граммовом виниле.

"Action"
Released: July 1975

The album was released by RCA Records in Europe and Australia and by Capitol Records in the United States, Canada and Japan.
RCA version.
The album completed the group's move to the hard rock style that had always been the trademark of their self-penned B-sides. Give Us a Wink reached no. 3 in Sweden, no. 9 in Germany and made it into the Top 20 in Norway and Australia. The album didn't chart in Sweet's home territory, the UK.
The European album contains two singles, "Action" and "The Lies in Your Eyes", that were recorded and released prior to rest of the album. "Action" reached the top 10 in 1975 in numerous European countries but stalled at #15 in the UK. Though "The Lies in Your Eyes" reached only #35 in the UK, it was very popular in other parts of Europe as well as Australia. A third single, "4 of July", was released in Australia only but failed to chart.
Capitol version.
The version released in the United States and Canada flipped the two sides of the LP and added "Lady Starlight" as the third track on side two. This song was first released on the European version of the 1974 album Desolation Boulevard. The version of "Lady Starlight" on this album has synthesizers that are absent from the original. Give Us a Wink reached the Top 20 in Canada. "Action" reached the top 10 in 1975 in Canada. In the US it reached #27. The Japanese version of this album is the same but also adds "Fox on the Run" at the beginning of side two.
Artwork:
The album artwork was designed by the American artist Joe Petagno, who had already designed the previous Sweet album Strung Up (1975). The original LP cover was released with a die-cut cover that caused the eye to wink as the sleeve was removed and placed back into the cover.
Personnel:
Brian Connolly – lead vocals, string machine
Steve Priest – bass, vocals, celli
Andy Scott – guitars, vocals, celli, synthesizers, voice bag
Mick Tucker – percussion, vocals, celli, phased gong
Additional personnel:
Louie Austin – engineer
Trevor Griffin – piano solo (track 4)
Mack – engineer
Nick Ryan – engineer
Рейтинг:
Allmusic: 3.5*/ 5
Robert Christgau: C+
Muzon-Market (MM): 7*/ 10 ( "Хорошо!")

Sweet — британская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в Лондоне в 1968 году. Первую известность The Sweet получили в начале 1970-х годов, стали частью британского глэм-рок-движения, а потом приблизились к хард-року. В наши дни существует две версии группы Sweet: одну возглавляет гитарист Энди Скотт, другую — басист Стив Прист.
