Sweeney Todd

If Wishes Were Horses

with Bryan Adams

London Records PS-694 1977 12" 33 rpm (Canada)


If Wishes Were Horses is the second album of the Canadian glam rock band Sweeney Todd. The album was recorded during late 1975-1976 and released in 1977. It is the only Sweeney Todd album on which a 17 year old Bryan Adams appears as the temporary singer. The producers deliberately sped his voice up to sound younger than it already was.

Subsequent to joining Sweeney Todd, Bryan Adams got down to work recording "If Wishes Were Horses" with the band, but not before he provided them with another version of their classic ‘Roxy Roller’ - and was duly awarded a Juno for his trouble. "If Wishes Were Horses" features some of the earliest Bryan Adams songs, as well as holdovers from Gilder and McCulloch (including the stunning opener ‘Tantalize’).

A Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but appears to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a few bucks less for ground.
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,
