Sweet Things is the 1966 third album with the Blue Flames by Georgie Fame which reached No.6 in the album Top Ten in the UK.[2] Following this album his band The Blue Flames was replaced with The Tornados.[3][4][5]
The album, issued on the Columbia label (SX 6043), has been described as "one of the finest British R&B albums of the mid-'60s."
Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Dave Thompson says that it ".. follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, a punchy R&B stomper that could (even should) have been recorded live, so high is the energy, and so abandoned the backing of the Blue Flames."[6]
