The Golden Greats is a greatest hits album by the British glam rock band Sweet, released in 1977.[1] Their second UK compilation album after The Sweet's Biggest Hits which featured their hits in 1971/72, this album features all of their UK singles from 1973 to 1977 although the last three, "Lost Angels", "Fever of Love" and "Stairway to the Stars" failed to chart in the UK or the US. They were to return to the top ten in the UK and US the following year with their final hit single "Love Is Like Oxygen" from the Level Headed album.

  • The Golden Greats featured all the RCA singles from "Block Buster!" to "Stairway to the Stars" in chronological order except that "Lost Angels" was placed before "The Lies in Your Eyes" in the track listing either as a record company error or because it was assumed the playlist sounded better that way.
