40th ANNIVERSARY BOX SET

‘TENOLOGY’

Featuring 4 CDs and 1 DVD

Release date – 19th Nov 2012

To mark the 40th anniversary of their formation in Stockport in ’72, Universal will release a five-disc box set entitled ‘Tenology’ by era-defining pop maestros 10cc on 19th November 2012. Compiled with the involvement of the original members – Lol Creme, Kevin Godley, Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart – ‘Tenology’ will feature four CDs (the singles, selected album tracks, the B-sides and rarities) and a DVD (featuring a selection of their promo videos and TV performances on Top Of The Pops, BBC In Concert, See You Sunday and Six Fifty Five Special). The packaging for ‘Tenology’ has been exclusively designed by Storm Studios, home of legendary British graphic designer Storm Thorgerson, who, as part of Hipgnosis, worked extensively with the band in the 70s and later designed the band’s ’95 album ‘Mirror Mirror’. The set also contains an 8500 word essay by Guardian writer and lifelong fan, Paul Lester, and features new interviews with Crème, Godley, Gouldman and Stewart.

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 travelers 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 soundtracked 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).
