CD Reviews

Fine Early 10CC!
Morten Vindberg | Denmark | 02/07/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This 10CC compilation covers the early years of the band, featuring tracks from their first two albums along with 4 rare singles-tracks.



The band-members were all veterans in music when they formed 10CC in 1972, so their music had a clear direction right from their first album, which, in fact is included here in its entirity.



Their music is sophisticated melodic rock, and they hit the top of the charts with their early singles "Donna", "The Dean and I", "Rubber Bullets" and "Wall Street Shuffle".



The single B-side "Waterfall" was a great pleasant surprise for me, and album tracks like "Fresh Air for my Mama", "Johnny Don't Do It and "Sand in My Face" still sound great.



After their second album "Sheet Music" they brought their style even further with complex (at times strained) albums such as "The Original Soundtrack" and "How Dare You".



It now seems that the earliest efforts of the band have dated better, and I'll prefer these early tracks anytime."
