“Level Headed”, originally released in January 1978, was without doubt the most distinctive album Sweet had ever produced up to that point. In many ways, it was a gamble for Sweet. On the one hand, it shows many facets of the band that were easily overlooked on earlier albums and, at the same time, new, previously unheard aspects for the first time.
“Level Headed” gave Sweet their last top ten hit with the dreamy “Love Is Like Oxygen”, a single that would later prove to be essential in the band’s oeuvre. Now released on Metalville Records, “Level Headed Alternate Mixes & Demos” is a real rarity in Sweet’s catalog. The album was previously only available as a strictly limited vinyl version in the USA and will now be released on CD worldwide for the first time.
