Bio:
Powerpop band led by Clive Culbertson, ex No Sweat.
The band was signed to Dave Dee's Double D label and issued a hard to find LP which is well worth tracking down.
After the band folded, Clive issued several solo singles and worked as a producer, opening his own recording studio.
The Japanese reissue label 1977 Records has reissued all the bands recordings.
To coincide with these reissues, The Sweat will reform for 2 performances in Japan in November 2007.

in a new cover, based on the "Belfast Rock" cover artwork and was (probably) promo only.
