Advantages: Witty lyrics; catchy melodies; great vocals; great value Disadvantages: none at all.
...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...

Advantages: comprehensive Disadvantages: could've been a double cd package instead
...If you would have to score a cd of 10CC, make it this retrospective album of the band. Quite a definitive compilation - it includes the very first incarnation of the four members of this band as Hotlegs w/ their single "Neanderthal Man", up to the two remaining members Stewart and Gouldman's final schtick as 10CC w/ the single "Dreadlock Holiday" from the BLOODY TOURISTS album; + this also contains the other half of the band playing as Godley&Creme, w/ their songs "Under Your Thumb", and the mtv overkilled "Cry".

Hearing this album inspired me to take to my decks and try the art of "Mashing Up" myself, if I ever meet the Dewaele brothers I will have to buy them a pint as they have inspired me to do something I never thought I would be able to do.
Even the packaging of the CD is clever, the CD itself looks like a CD-Rom that has been copied and the cover art is very punk-sex pistol-esque feturing a delightful picture of a suited guy wearing a paper bag on his head giving the two finger salute.
Perhaps the v-sign is a signal to those who made life so hard for 2 Many DJ's when they were puttin the album together, after all they had to get approval from around 40 different record companies before they could put this album out.
So back to the music itself, some of the tracks have...
