Liver failure got him in the end didn't it? I saw a TV reprise of Glam
Rock with him interviewed, and he looked at death's door. He died during
produ7ction of the show.

I was a Sweet fan as a nipper though. What wopuld be the best albums to
get for:

A) The hits from Alexander Graham Bell through Fox on the Run and

B) The stuff they wrote.
