Full capacity enjoyment - The Very Best Of 10CC - 10CC

Advantages: Honest quality pop music

Disadvantages: none

One for the over forties. If you like soft rock, perhaps a little AOR in places, with a little hint at a Beach Boys influence in places you will absolutely love this. Over 70 mins of reminiscing. 

OK friends this is a wonderful 1970s nostalgia fest indeed, each track will have you thinking "I remember just what I was doing then." 

Some of my favourites are 

Donna; 
I find 10cc original and unoriginal at the same time. They definitely let whatever influences shine through and this has a 1950s feel, brought into the 1970s. 

Wall Street Shuffle; 
I love the riff at the beginning it is just straight in. Great content in the lyrics. 

I'm Not In Love; 
Atmospheric! This song has probably lost its original feel over the years, but great use of 'choir' voices in the background and the muted synth/piano really give this a muted feel. 

I'm Mandy Fly Me; 
I love the little Beach Boys skit in the background at the beginning and the dreamy instrumentation with its double meanings - ? 

I was also glad to hear the wonderful Godley & Creme's Under Your Thumb included here. 

By the way it is not just for the over forties, I recommend anyone to try this.
