The Sweet springs to mind (they'll be vintage in another 10 years or so, therefore almost qualify for discussion here!!), but the album?  Sweet Fanny Adams? Did they have a song called 'the sweet shop'?

I,m loathe to give another clue.....as it will surely give it away.....but...i,m in a generous mood..........think ....Douglas Adams....the writer.....for he will lead you to the group....then its up to you to find the album..... ;D

All I can think of is the shared title  'Wish You Were Here' shared with Pink Floyd  ... in the sweetie shop?
Probably way off !!

OK ... "sweeties" ... I was never into Pink Fairies, although I'm pretty certain that I saw them once, I think it was at one of the all-nighter/weekend events that they used to hold at the Lyceum, and I recall Stone the Crows at roughly the same time ... but it was so long ago I'm probably wrong!

The Douglas Adams link was lost on me. I know he wrote HHGTTG, and I know his Biography was called 'Wish you were here' (in the sweet shop  ;D ), but that's about it
