Sweet Thursday (album)

Sweet Thursday is the self-titled debut, and only, album by the late 1960s British rock band Sweet Thursday. Its chance of success was cut short by the almost-immediate failure of the record label.

History

The album was recorded at Trident Studios in London. It is notable for featuring keyboardist Nicky Hopkins (who worked with The Rolling Stones and The Who among many others) and Bluesbreakers alum Jon Mark (who would go on to form the group Mark-Almond). It was produced by Hugh Murphy, who later became known for his work with Gerry Rafferty. Recording and engineering was done by Barry Sheffield.

The album was originally released in the US in August 1969 on Tetragrammaton Records(catalogue T-112). (The band had signed with that label in November 1968, and the copyright on the label was from 1968.)

Radio commercials were used to promote the album and Tetragrammaton's other releases. However, by late 1969 Tetragrammaton was already headed for financial failure and bankruptcy (by legend, the same day the album was released).
