10cc has been relegated to the back pages of pop music history, which on the one hand is a bit of a shame, but on the other hand completely understandable. This multi-talented group of four singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalists (Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Crème) made their mark in the Watergate-era 70’s with their brand of snarky pop music, which somehow flew under the radar while arena-rock behemoths like Queen have endured long beyond the era. This 2-disc collection is an interesting glimpse into the beginning era of the group, including not only the first 2 albums but also B-sides and extra tracks as bonus cuts, with the majority of material seemingly torn direct from tabloids or comic books.
