5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value 10cc compilation, 2 Mar 2001
By A Customer
At last - an excellent compilation of much of the very best work from one of Britain's most original and innovative pop/rock bands. The crystal clear remastered sound does full justice to the complex and innovative production techniques which, along with their idiosyncratic songwriting, were a hallmark of the band.

For those who only know the band's big hits, there will be some interesting surprises here, most notably 'One night in Paris', the nearly 9 minute piano-driven epic in which the band sing the parts of numerous fictional Parisienne low-life characters. This was never a single, but is a classic example of 10cc at their best. It is good, and indeed only right, that the full-length album versions of 'I'm not in love' and 'I'm Mandy fly me' are included. And having been unavailable for a long time, the minimalist classic 'Neanderthal man', from the pre-10cc days before Graham Gouldman officially joined, is very welcome.

There are however a few slight disappointments, such as the editing out of the freak-out slide guitar ending of 'Silly love', and the inclusion of the single version of 'Art for art's sake' rather than the full album version with its extended instrumental passages. Although the presence of a rather forgotten minor hit from 1977, the orchestrated ballad 'People in love', is very welcome, it's a shame that the memorable 'Worst band in the world' (the band's unlucky 1974 flop single after a run of hits) is omitted. Perhaps it would have been better to stick just to the group 10cc, rather than including 3 tracks from Godley and Creme, which are of very different character and seem somewhat out of place in this collection. Even Kevin and Lol's excellent first single '3 o'clock in the morning' doesn't appear.

But at least now that most of 10cc's back catalogue from the 70s is available on CD, die-hard fans can get what they want. For everyone else, this is a perfectly adequate collection of the band's best known tunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars It almost makes me produce my 10cc of you know what!, 25 Aug 2004
By robojam - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
It's amazing that a band named after the volume of semen that a human male produces in one ejaculation could go on to so much success, especially as bands were still being banned for pretty innocuous things at the time. However it happened, I'm glad it did.

This best of covers the whole career of 10cc and other projects, from the dreadful 'Neanderthal Man' by Hotlegs (why on earth it is on this album I don't know!), through the first real hit, the cod doo-wop of 'Donna', through to the best songs recorded by Godley and Creme.

Their 3 UK number ones are here, amazingly each one with a different member of the band on lead vocals - 'Rubber Bullets' (Lol Creme), 'I'm Not In Love' (Eric Stewart), and 'Dreadlock Holiday' (Graham Gouldman). Also there are all the other hits they had - you just don't realise how many until you listen to this.

In addition you get a couple of album tracks. I wish there were more, but every song here has one of those tunes that sticks in your head after very few listens. Great stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality seventies pop rock, 14 Oct 2003
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This contains all the essential songs from 10cc whose distinctive and diverse songs gave them plenty of success in Britain and around the world. Some of their song exist in both single and album versions, but this compilation sometimes includes the single versions (as on Art for art's sake) and sometimes the album version (as on I'm Mandy fly me).

Perhaps their most famous song is I'm not in love, a classic love song. On this set, you get the album version. There are many other classics here including Donna, Rubber bullets, Wall Street shuffle, Things we do for love and Dreadlock Holiday, together with a few obscure gems. The compilation is completed by tracks from Godley and Crème (formed after the break-up of 10cc) and Hotlegs (the precursor of 10cc). These tracks have their appeal but are somewhat different in style.

This is a great collection of music by one of the best pop rock groups to emerge from Britain in the seventies.
