Off the Record is the fifth album by Sweet. It was recorded at Audio International Studios in London between October 1976 and January 1977. The band produced with assistance from engineers Louis Austin and Nick Ryan.
All songs written and composed by Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Andy Scott and Mick Tucker.
Unlike the RCA issue, the Capitol cover featured the album title.
"Stairway to the Stars" was withheld from the RCA album release and later issued as a single as a follow-up to "Lost Angels" and "Fever of Love". All three singles proved to be commercial flops (except some countries like Sweden, Germany, Austria, South Africa, and Denmark, where all or some broke the top 10 and 20).
Raul Sepper recorded a cover of "Funk It Up" in Estonian, titled "Sein On Ees", in 1979.[1] German power metal act Gamma Ray covered "Lost Angels" on their 2013 Master of Confusion EP.
