The Essential 10cc

Potential buyers should note that this album doesn't include any of the original tracks from their first 2 albums,'10cc' and 'Sheet Music'. There are 1977 live versions of 'Wall Street Shuffle' from 'Sheet Music', 'Ships Dont Disappear In The Night' from '10cc' and 'Waterfall', which was a bonus track on the '10cc' CD reissue.The following 8 10cc albums are represented by about 4 tracks each plus tracks that were not includedon the original album releases but were on the CD reissues. So, for example, there are 2 tracks that weren't included on the original release of Deceptive Bends but were on the CD reissue. Their 10th album 'Windows in the Jungle' has 3 tracks plus the 1977 live versions of 'Dreadlock Holiday' and 'I'm Not In Love' that were on the CD reissue.I may spend some time exploring those later tracks as I lost touch with 10cc after 'Deceptive Bends' but I would say that this collection is for someone who wants to hear what 10cc did in their later years.There is some good stuff (the tracks from the album that I always thought was called 'Are You Normal' but is actually called 'Look Hear?' are rather better than I expected) but you miss the classics from '10cc' and 'Sheet Music' and would it have been that difficult to include a little booklet?

Pretty good compilation.

No early hits so can't understand the essential stuff.

Yet another collection of 10cc album tracks and singles.A nice cross section of songs ideal as an introduction to 10cc.

Great choice of music

It missing some good song.

I love 10 cc.bought this collection which is fantastic but cant understand why 3 of their top hits wasnt included.donna.the dean and i and rubber bullets.otherwise a great listen.
