SWEET SAVAGE: ‘Straight Through The Heart’ 1983

The Friday Night Rock Show did a session with this band 18 months ago when Vivian Campbell (Dio guitarist) was still with them. It turned out really well -Vivian was obviously a young man who knew what he was doing.
Apparently, he’s on this single and it is good, although the production could have been a bit more selective. The rest of the band are competent, but having Vivian Campbell here is clearly designed to attract interest. However, it could be a double-edged sword because, having heard this record, people might well be tempted to go and see them live where Vivian’s absence will doubtless be a great disappointment.
