10cc
10cc are an English rock band formed in Stockport in 1972. The group initially consisted of four musicians – Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme – who had written and recorded together since 1968. The group featured two songwriting teams. Stewart and Gouldman were predominantly pop songwriters, who created most of the band's accessible songs. Godley and Creme were the predominantly experimental half of 10cc, featuring art and cinematically inspired writing. Every member of 10cc was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer and producer. Most of the band's records were recorded at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking, with most of those engineered by Stewart. From 1972 to 1978, 10cc had five consecutive UK top-ten albums: ''Sheet Music'' (1974), '' The Original Soundtrack'' (1975), '' How Dare You!'' (1976), ''Deceptive Bends'' (1977) and ''Bloody Tourists'' (1978). 10cc also had twelve singles reach ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Windows In The Jungle
''Windows in the Jungle'' is the ninth studio album by British rock band 10cc, released in October 1983. Background The album became a return to the roots for 10cc as all the songs on the album were written together by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, some of which were extended pieces with complex arrangements ("24 Hours", "Taxi! Taxi!", "The Secret Life of Henry"), reminiscent of the "Une Nuit a Paris" and " Feel the Benefit" from the earlier albums, and based on the unifying concept of love and life in the city. The album also continued the formula established by the previous 10cc album ''Ten Out of 10'' for which the band consisted of Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman with other musicians taking part as session players, however again featuring long-time 10cc collaborators Rick Fenn and Stuart Tosh along with recent addition of Vic Emerson to the live lineup. However, the album marked the absence of Paul Burges for the first time since 1977 ''Deceptive Bends''. ''Windows i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ten Out Of 10
''Ten Out of 10'' is the eighth studio album by 10cc. It was released in two different versions with the original edition coming in November 1981 and the US version coming in June 1982 respectively. Overview After two albums of 10cc as a sixpiece lineup ''Ten Out of 10'' was a return to the core duo of Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart with all other contributors taking a role of session musicians, despite the fact that the album featured two of the musicians used on the band's previous album, 1980s ''Look Hear?'': drummer Paul Burgess on all but three tracks and guitarist and singer Rick Fenn credited on two tracks but played on all other tracks uncredited. Other session musicians included pianist Vic Emerson of Sad Café, who also joined 10cc on tour. The album credits resulted in identification of Gouldman and Stewart only as "Graham" and "Eric" like on previous albums with other musicians credited by full name after the contributions of the former.

Look Hear?
''Look Hear?'' is the seventh studio album by 10cc, released in 1980. Overview The album was recorded after a long break the band had to take due to Eric Stewart's car accident in January 1979 that left him with blindness in one eye and temporary hearing loss in one ear. Like previous albums, it was recorded at the band's Strawberry Studios South in Dorking, Surrey. At the time of the recording Graham Gouldman was coming through a divorce and it was reflected in the songs that he wrote for the album, "How'm I Ever Gonna Say Goodbye" and "I Hate to Eat Alone". These two songs also had little to none contribution from Eric Stewart in the studio: only percussion on "I Hate to Eat Alone" and nothing at all on "How'm I Ever Gonna Say Goodbye". Like the previous 10cc album, ''Bloody Tourists'', ''Look Hear?'' featured songwriting contributions from other members of the band and the album was the first by 10cc since the departure of Godley and Creme to include songs written by nei ...

Dreadlock Holiday
"Dreadlock Holiday" is a reggae song by 10cc. Written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman, it was the lead single from the band's 1978 album, ''Bloody Tourists''. Composition The song was based on real events Eric Stewart and Moody Blues vocalist Justin Hayward experienced in Barbados; and Graham Gouldman experienced in Jamaica. Graham Gouldman commented: "Some of the experiences that are mentioned are true, and some of them are ... fairly true!" Stewart recalled seeing a white guy "trying to be cool and he looked so naff" walking into a group of Afro-Caribbeans and being reprimanded, which became the lyric "Don't you walk through my words, you got to show some respect." Another lyric came from a conversation Gouldman had with a Jamaican, who when asked if he liked cricket replied, "No, I love it!". Music video The music video for the song was directed by Storm Thorgerson. The beach scene in the official video was filmed on the Dorset coast near Charmouth. Reception "Dreadlock H ...

I Bought A Flat Guitar Tutor
"I Bought a Flat Guitar Tutor" is a song by 10cc appearing on their 1977 album, ''Deceptive Bends''. The song is quite short and often thought of as a novelty piece amongst fans.

The chart below attempts to explain the complex idea. *I bought A = A major (A C♯ E) * flat = A Flat major (A♭ C E♭) * flatdiminished = A Flat diminished (A♭ Cb E♭♭) *Responsibility (responsibilitE)= E Major (E G♯ B) *You're de ninth = D9 (D F♯ A C E) *Person to see = C Major (C E G) *To be suspended = Bsus4 (B E F♯) *in a seventh = A7 (A C♯ E G) * seventhmajor catastro- = A Major 7th (A C♯ E G♯) *phe = E major (E G# B) *It's a minor = A minor (A C E) *point, but Gee = G major (G B D) * ut gee,Augmented = G augmented (G B D♯) * ee, augmentedby the sharpness of your = G sharp augmented (G♯ B♯ D♯♯) *See what I ...
