-
Formed
in
1972,
10cc
were
at
once
commercial,
at
once
strange
-
Described
as
the
'missing
link
between
the
Beatles
and
Blur',
it
was
rare
to
have
four
talented
writers,
singers
and
multi-instrumentalists
all
under
one
roof;
but
in
Eric
Stewart,
Graham
Gouldman,
Lol
Creme
and
Kevin
Godley,
10cc
had
just
that
-
They
released
some
of
the
most
inventive
and
elaborate
pop
music
ever
to
emerge
from
Britain.
After
two
albums
and
a
run
of
hit
singles
on
the
UK
label,
the
group
moved
across
to
Mercury
Records
in
1975.
On
the
strength
of
one
song,
10cc
did
a
five-year
deal
with
them
for
five
albums.
That
one
song
was
I'm
Not
In
Love.
The
group's
signature
song
–
played
over
five
million
times
on
US
radio
–
was
one
of
many
riches
on
their
eagerly
anticipated
1975
album,
The
Original
Soundtrack.
Also
containing
the
hit
single
Life
Is
A
Minestrone,
the
album
opens
with
the
influential
nine-minute
mini-opera,
Un
Nuit
A
Paris,
demonstrating
how
far
pop
music
had
travelled
in
a
short
space
of
time.
This
re-issue
faithfully
replicates
the
original
1975
Mercury
Records
UK
release
with
legendary
Hipgnosis-designed
gatefold
sleeve
and
printed
inner
and
is
pressed
onto
high
quality
180g
vinyl.
