Sweet Fanny Adams is the second studio album by English glam rock band Sweet, released on 26 April 1974 through RCA Records. Like the previous album, Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be, it was only released in the UK, but five of its songs appeared on the US version of Desolation Boulevard released in July 1975. It's not available on streaming services in most regions.
The album title is English (originally Royal Navy) slang originating from the murder of eight-year-old Fanny Adams in 1867 and means "nothing at all" as well as a similar euphemism "F.A." = "fuck all".
Sweet Fanny Adams reached No. 27 on the UK Albums Chart in the year of its release by RCA Records in 1974 and No. 2 in the albums chart of West Germany.
