Very Best Of 10cc, The [Remastered] - 10cc

...producing the song in a very pop standard fashion. The following year saw them chart with ‘Dreadlock Holiday’ the anthem to their love of Jamaica, reggae and cricket despite the hostility of the natives. A very clever song in as you would have expected a reggae style. This proved to be the last of the 10cc group hits and the remainder of the album is taken up with Godley and Crème tracks. The first was ‘An Englishman In New York’ ...
...hum-drum effort which was a very minor hit in 1979. Godley and Crème were more successful in 1981 with the ordinary ‘Snack Attack’ and 2 true pop standards ‘Under Your Thumb’ and ‘Wedding Bells’. ‘Under Your Thumb’ is a driving song about a wife who commits suicide after living in a loveless marriage whilst ‘Wedding Bells’ is a more standard love song. The final track of the album chronologically ...

...which featured robotics. (This very best of album includes the Godley & Creme "Cry" which is a nice bonus) Back to 10cc..... The period from 1972 to 1979 was when in my opinion their output was at its absolute peak and many great songs were released. Their most recognisable are "I'm Mandy Fly Me", "Dreadlock Holiday", "I'm Not In Love" and "The Wall Street Shuffle".... my favourite though is "The Things We Do For Love" The only obvious negative is ...

...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". The cd also features the full album version ...
...THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK lp, and also from that same album, is their own take on rock opera -the comedic "Une Nuit A Paris (Parts 1 to 3)". Filled with humour on the most of their tracks- at times the band seem to even resemble some coincidental similarities with the other (and my fave'rite) art-rock band SUPERTRAMP in their songs' sound and lyrics. This cd contains the whole set of their familliar/not-so familliar tracks (at least to the non-10CC ...
