So, 6 albums from ’77 to ’88, after leaving 10cc. As the 80’s wore on, G&C became more famous for music videos that they were making for other artists – like “Rockit” for Herbie Hancock. They had some hits in
I recently found the promo sampler LP for “Consequences” – nice to have it distilled down to less than 30 minutes! Seems amazing that they put out a triple concept LP in 1977. The only one I went for when it was released was “L” – I must’ve heard “This Sporting Life” or something. I remember when “Goodbye Blue Sky” was in every $2.99 bin – now those CD’s all seem to have vanished
There are certainly a number of British groups that I have enjoyed collecting “after the fact” – G&C / 10cc one (two?) of ‘em. Thankfully, I’ve never had to pay very much for any of these LP’s or CD’s. Yes, I also have their 7” & 12” singles.

How about that hot weather? How much longer will it go on?

Re : Isn’t there even a touring version of 10cc at the present time?
Yes, I just read about it in Goldmine a month or two ago. It's basically Graham Gouldman. He's not billing it specifically as 10cc, but they're doing all the hits. Apparently Kevin Godley has appeared as a special guest a time or two as well.
I was never a rabid 10cc fan, but I do think those first five LPs were really solid.
Yes, I heard that there was something going on in England, with 10cc members - but there is still no new product on the market (that I am aware of). I like the first 5 albums as well, but I have only came to them recently.
