One of the greatest bands of the 70s. No one hit sounded alike, the lyrics were extremely clever and often tongue-in-cheek and for once, a compilation that delivers its promise. For me this is one of the few faultless compilations around. If you were around in the 70s and like hearing a surprise forgotten gem that never gets played on the radio anymore, this is the album for you.

Most people think of 10CC and recall 'I'm not in love,' 'The Things we do for love,' and 'Dreadlock Holiday,' which were three of their biggest worldwide hits and are definitely classic 70s anthems. Just mentioning those three songs emphasises the sheer quality of the band's output ranging from a reggae inspired number to an absolutely timeless ballad.

Every hit on CD One features sublime and quite often hysterical lyrics, tight arrangement and distinctive vocals. From the simplistic yet fantastic falsetto on 'Donna,' to the beautiful emotive tones on 'I'm not in love' and Godley & Creme's 'Cry,' this album will take on an emotional journey and bring back tonnes of memories.

From classic 70s pop rock on 'Rubber Bullets' and 'The Dean And I' to quite eerie but thought-provoking epics such as 'I'm Mandy Fly Me,' 10CC's 'Greatest Hits...And More,' has much to offer. Words can't really describe 10CC's music so it's best to let the songs speak for themselves. It's a fairly easy bet that this compilation will feature at least one song you can recognise from the title alone no matter what era you were born in.

The fact that this compilation features pretty much all of the solo greatest hits from the bandmembers (even the Andrew Gold collaboration from Wax, which I hadn't heard for years) and some solo recordings from Graham Gouldman, who was undoubtedly one of the best songwriters of his day penning such hits as 'Bus Stop' for the Hollies (featured on here sung by the man himself) to his outstanding vocals on the original version of 'A Groovy Kind of Love' adds to its brilliance. This is a truly comprehensive compilation and at this price, unbeatable value.
