Fascinating - skip to around 60 minutes in of this 75 minute interview. Slight echo made all the difference.

Nice one Mark. Wonder how Mondays would have sounded If Mr J  Lange had gotten his hands on it 1st

Personally, I was more interested in The Ballroom Blitz story.  His finest moment and they made it in less than a day. Wow!

 I was wondering the same. He might have listened to the previous versions and worked on those.

 Whilst I found that interesting, without being biased I think Mondays was his finest hour. The Sweet were incredible though and BB is one of my first memories of a pop song as a 7 year old. 'You better watch out if you've got long black hair' from Blockbuster frightened me at that age and I can vividly remember looking at my mother's hair from the back seat of the car, concerned as to whether her shoulder length style put her in the 'at risk' category.

Blockbuster was one of the first records I ever bought (aged 8 or 9), but I think their run of singles from Blockbuster through to Action (excluding Turn It Down) are the best ever run of top 20 singles by any band with Ballroom Blitz their peak.  Sadly their albums were very inconsistent veering from bubblegum to Deep Purplesque heavy metal.  Their last album was callled Identity Crisis which is what they often had.   Forgettable pre-1972 and spasmodic post 1975.
