• 10cc formed in 1972, initially consisting Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme who between them were creative pop and experimental songwriters, as well as multi-instrumentalists, singers and producers. They recorded most of their albums at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking,
• Originally signed to UK Records label, 10cc first charted in September 1972 with their ‘50s pastiche ‘Donna’, which narrowly missed the #1 spot but spent a quarter of the year on the Singles Chart. Six-months later 10cc had their first #1 single ‘Rubber Bullets’. They recorded two albums for the label before signing to Phonogram’s Mercury Records label in 1975.
• Between 1972 and 1978, 10cc had five consecutive UK Top 10 albums: “Sheet Music” (#9-1974), “The Original Soundtrack” (#3-1975), “How Dare You!” (#5-1976), “Deceptive Bends” (#3-1977) and “Bloody Tourists” (#3-1978). Their Double live album “Live And Let Live” recorded on tour in Manchester and London, reached #14 in 1977.

During this period, there were also two ‘hits’ collections released, reaching #9 in 1975 and #5 in 1979.
