Desolation Boulevard is the third album by Sweet originally released in the United Kingdom in November 1974. Two different versions of the album were released. One by RCA Records in Europe, and another by Capitol Records in the United States, Canada and Japan. The RCA version contains the original recording of the song "Fox on the Run". The Capitol version, released in the United States in July 1975, includes the 1973 hit single "The Ballroom Blitz" and the single version of "Fox on the Run".
The album cover photo was shot near the entrance of a rock'n'roll club called The Central, located at 8852 Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Today it is the site of The Viper Room, where actor River Phoenix died from a drug overdose on 31 October 1993.
All songs written and composed by Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Andy Scott and Mick Tucker except where noted.
The Capitol version of Desolation Boulevard was released in the United States in July 1975. It was different from the U.K. version and included several songs from their previous album Sweet Fanny Adams in addition to the "Ballroom Blitz" and "Fox on the Run" singles.
