Two CD collection from the iconic British art rock/pop band. Disc 1 contains all hits from the classic years (1972-83), Godley & Creme hits and the unreleased track 'Natural Wonder' from the original line-up. Disc 2 has Graham Gouldman performing versions of some of the many hits he wrote for other artists, 5 tracks from 2006 collaboration between Graham and Kevin Godley and finally 7 unreleased live tracks from 10cc in 2010.
In the fall of 1991, it was announced that 10cc's original quartet of members had reconvened in Woodstock, to begin work on their first album together in 16 years. Of course it didn't happen like that; Kevin Godley and Lol Creme both had other careers to consider at that time, and the bulk of the new record was left to Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman -- whose own tenure at the helm ended when they split the band in 1983. And it shows. Although the prodigals did contribute to the album by way of backing vocals, their presence was scarcely felt. Neither did producer Gary Katz add anything to the brew, as songs that sounded terrific as demos ("Welcome to Paradise" in particular) were simply plastered over with studio lushness by session men that the 10cc-ers themselves did not even know. The result is a polished piece of nothing, an album that owes nothing to the 10cc that listeners know and love, and not much to anything that was going on elsewhere on the music scene at that time. It simply sits in the corner humming quietly to itself, and it's easy to forget that it even exists. ~ Dave Thompson
