Give Us A Wink Album
Give Us a Wink contains two singles, "Action" and "The Lies in Your Eyes" that were recorded and released prior to the album itself. "Action" reached the Top 10 in 1975 in numerous European countries and Canada but stalled at No. 15 in the UK and No. 20 in the US. Though "The Lies in Your Eyes" reached only No. 35 in the UK, it was very popular in other parts of Europe as well as Australia. A third single, "4 July" was released in Australia only but failed to chart. Consequently it completed the move to the hard rock style that had always been the trademark of the self-penned single B-sides backing the more pop oriented singles written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman since their breakthrough in 1971. Give Us a Wink reached No. 3 in Sweden, No. 9 in Germany and made it into the Top 20 in Norway, Canada and Australia. In the US it reached No. 27 but it didn't chart at all on Sweet's home territory, the UK.
