A special four-disc box set, curated with input from the band to detail each and every chapter of their musical story. It Is the first complete, career-encompassing collection of the work of 10cc – Eric Stewart, Lol Crème, Kevin Godley and Graham Gouldman, together and apart.
The collection starts with ‘During // The Best of 10cc 1972 – 1978’, which captures the band at their commercial peak with some of their biggest hits including ‘I’m Not In Love’ and ‘The Things We Do For Love’, ‘After // The Post 10cc Years’ is a collection of the very best tracks that came following the band’s split, hand-picked by members of the band. It includes music from Godley and Creme, Graham Gouldman’s Wax, Paul McCartney (with whom Eric Stewart co-wrote) and from Lol Creme’s period in The Art Of Noise. The following chapter takes us on a journey to late 60s Stockport, before 10cc’s rise to musical stardom, when the four writers and performers worked their musical magic away from the spotlight. ‘Before // The Early Years’ compiles more pre-recordings showcasing the early vision of each individual band member. A compelling and eclectic listen, it includes Manchester’s very own the Mindbenders ‘A Groovy Kind Of Love’ (featuring Eric Stewart), the psychedelic Sheffield sound of Rameses’ ‘Life Child’.
