Indeed yes. Nice advances, big royalty cheques, nice Christmas present.
But I'm still sad they were seduced by the big money blandishments of the major label corporations.
If I'd remained involved, they would have become the biggest band in the world.
I employed (and paid for) Storm to design SHEET MUSIC (a terrific sleeve).
I've done several interviews promoting the package.
And yes, we do also get a hefty over-ride royalty on the second half of their career. |

10cc - Tenology (4CD/DVD Box Set)
Released November 19th. for £39.99
To mark the 40th anniversary of their formation in Stockport in ’72, a 5 disc box set entitled ‘Tenology’ by era-defining pop maestros 10cc is being made available.
Curated by the four original members - Lol Crème, Kevin Godley, Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart, ‘Tenology’ will feature 4 CDs (singles, B-sides, album tracksand rarities) and a DVD (featuring all the groundbreaking promo videos and TV performances on Top Of The Pops, BBC In Concert, See You Sunday, Six Fifty Five Special and Pebble Mill).
The packaging for ‘Tenology’ has been exclusively designed by legendary British graphic designer Storm Thorgersen, who has designed the band’s’ album covers for many a year.
This with a comprehensive sleeve note by The Guardians Paul Lester who has interviewed all four members of the band makes this the most comprehensive package ever done on 10cc
10cc - Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Crème - were four accomplished musicians/writers/producers who cared more for the sound of their records than the trappings of celebrity. Alongside fellow travellers Queen, Rod Stewart, Elton John and David Bowie they ruled the airwaves in the 70s with monster hit after monster hit. From their breakthrough debut single “Donna” in ’72 to their final No 1 “Dreadlock Holiday” in ’78 via solid gold classics such as “I’m Not In Love” (a worldwide smash in ’75), “Rubber Bullets”, “The Wall Street Shuffle”, “I’m Mandy Fly Me”, “Life Is A Minestrone”, “The Things We Do For Love”, “The Dean And I”, “Art For Art’s Sake”, “Silly Love” and many more, 10cc combined progressive art-rock tendencies with an ear for melody to create songs of the ‘once heard, never forgotten’ variety. While their singles burned up the charts, the band simultaneously embraced the artful and the esoteric on their albums creating a truly ground-breaking and influential body of work.
The original line-up of 10cc stayed together from 72 to 76 and released four albums “10cc” (’73), “Sheet Music” (’74), “The Original Soundtrack” (’75) and “How Dare You” (’76) after which Godley and Crème departed to pursue their own path as a duo. Gouldman and Stewart continued and 10cc released “Deceptive Bends” (’77) that featured another global hit “The Things We Do For Love” and “Bloody Tourists” (’78) which gave the world “Dreadlock Holiday”, a song that has sound tracked hundreds of hours of cricket coverage! The early 80s saw three more albums from the Gouldman/Stewart 10cc “Look Hear” (’80), “Ten Out Of 10” (’81) and “Windows in the Jungle” (’83) then both pursued other projects before reconvening in the 90s for “Meanwhile” (’92) and “Mirror Mirror” (’95).
