SWEET-GIVE US A WINK-1976-THE FIRST UK PRESS-RCA-RS1036 matrix-A2/B2 . A very rare British original. The fourth studio album by the British rock band Sweet. It was the first album entirely written and produced by the band members. Previously, they relied on the material of the songwriting team of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. The album was released by RCA Records in Europe and Australia and by Capitol Records in the United States, Canada and Japan.
The album completed the band's transition to the hard rock style, which has always been the hallmark of their self-composed B-sides. Give Us a Wink reached 3rd place in Sweden, 9th in Germany and entered the Top 20 in Norway and Australia. The album failed to chart in Sweet's home country, the UK. The European album contains two singles, "Action" and "The Lies in Your Eyes", which were recorded and released before the rest of the album was released. "Action" hit the top 10 in 1975 in many European countries, but stopped at number 15 in the UK singles chart. Although "Lies in Your Eyes" only reached number 35 in the UK, it was popular in other parts of Europe as well as in Australia.
