This album is an immersive experience, and along with 'L' and 'Freeze Frame' among my favourite Godley and Creme releases. Their collaboration with Sarah Vaughan resulted in a little pearl of a jazz ballad. Perfection!
How could I have forgotten....!!!! Sarah Vaughan's input is not just incredible on this, but one of the best vocal performances she ever came up with, and that is saying something!! One day, this whole thing will become a hell of a film or Broadway musical.......
I've been listening to this since it first came out.A friend made me a cassette copy that I've well and truly worn out the oxide playing. Fortunately, I found an import CD 10 years ago. It has such wonderful quotes which nobody appreciates when I use them. Sigh. Well, Rome wasn't burnt in a day.
With you, Jim... I introduced quotes into my family lexicon within weeks of buying this album back in 77... my nephews and nieces chant them back to me now!! You can't bend muck.
The reason is you have to slog through music forever before you get to the divorce and so on. No one (that I know of) does like mushrooms and sit down for the whole album anymore, even often pink floyd. We're all too busy about life.
This album actually saved my life. My wife's uncle was CEO of Polygram. He gave me the box of Consequences because he knew I needed it. The sheer brilliance of the album gave me back my humanity. Thank you. 🙏
I knew nothing about this album when I found one copy in the 10cc section of my local record store back in 77 (or maybe it was 78). Put it on, was blown away, and kept listening again and again. Still love this album to this day. It wasn't until years later that I found out it's European release was on my 17th birthday. ;o)
I have had the tipple album at the time it was released, the reason was 10cc. It was magic to listened to this album. All the time after this release I wondered if these two gentlemen, who created this masterpiece, were going well. I am impressed for their ingenuous and human creation. Best regards from Björn (Sweden)
Thank you very much for uploading that masterpiece. I really like it very much. It remembers me a lot on my youth . The flood is my favorite part of that album
I remember finding this on cassette in the Central Library in Middlesbrough, way back in the late 70's, and loved it immediately for its ideas, both musically and otherwise. Bravo, G&C (and 10cc) for doing something different. :-) Wore out the cassette many years ago, so thank you nightimelady for posting this.
Great album'...some nice songs and inventive musical ideas..typical of the madcap genius of Godley & Crème.Peter Cook's slightly surreal humour perfectly compliments the mix...akways loved these guys anyway...10cc were one of the most inventive rock bands ever,I've had the original vinyl album for years but due to no record deck and personal circumstances haven't heard for years..thanks for the upload
G&C were very much a cult here in Florida. I just loved how they were a evolutionary step in music. I still have all their LP's on vinyl, including the Consequences LP set.
Haven't listened to this in decades. For some reason I pulled out all my 10cc albums today and, of course, the three disc original recording of Consequences. I don't have a turntable hooked up, so I am glad to find that you posted this recording. I used to listen to this over and over for many years after it came out. Funny how I pulled it out after so long on this day, April 16, 2017. Tomorrow is April 17th, perhaps this is the year nature takes over. We shall seeeeee.
Godley and Creme's work is so underrated! and in my top 5 favorite musicians ever! despite how expensive their work is now, the albums are worth every penny. excluding Goodbye Blue Sky. But it is one the most brilliant execution plot for a music career. The dialogue of Blint is always funny to me. and the music of Consequences is beautiful. All I can say after discovering these guys is - cheers!
I first bought L (Sporting Life is one of my absolute favorite songs). Consequences next. I wanted to like 10ccs but never caught it. Loved all of the C&G stuff on par with Zappa...and agree Goodbye Blue Sky was the least of these.
In 1977 there was an interview with Godley and Creme on the Uk kids tv show Magpie and you saw the Gizmo being used. I wanted the album from that point on but it was too expensive .As said it flopped and was deleted fairly quickly. I got a cassette copy from a junk shop in 1986 for £5. Its been may years since Ive heard the entire album as Ive no cassette deck anymore, so thanks for sharing this lost masterpiece
Hm, don't remember this being particularly expensive back in the day.. but then I don't remember buying it at all, merely playing it over and over and over and.. And yet I haven't listened to this in years if not decades. Thanks for the flashback!
@nightimelady Thanks for your upload and writings, I only heard the full album about ten years ago, but too much felt so familiar I think my dad had a cassette of it around when i was tiny.. :)
Excellent. Lost Weekend, featuring Sarah Vaughan, is sublime. Brilliant album. Thanks for putting it up here. I've got it on an old cassette, and I hadn't listened to it for ages. This is great.
Wow! I can't believe its on here I had this album back when it first was released, then for some reason it went missing mmmm haven't had a listen since thank you nightmelady it's brilliant.
Kev and Lol freely admitted in later days that the project got completely out of hand and suffered from too many joints, booze and curries at odd hours of the day but hey that's not unusual in the music business by any means heh. Much as I admire Peter Cook's work it was in retrospect a bad move to have so much spoken material in the piece . It was a good idea to involve him - comedy and humour LP's were very much in vogue at the time and I recall having many in my collection, some being excerpts from old radio and TV shows and others being live concerts - no TH-cam in those days! - and Cook's original Derek and Clive records are rightly the stuff of legend so the basic idea of having the story intercut with the songs was fine but they really should have edited it down a lot more and made it maybe a double album instead because I seem to recall buying the album for about £9 at the time of release when the normal price of an album was £2 - £3, this in days when I was lucky to get £1 a week for pocket money so you have to appreciate that it was a considerable investment at the time and that price, above all else, is the main reason it struggled to sell IMHO. Maybe that's why in all the changes to my record collection over the years I've never been able to part with the copy I have. BTW in answer to a previous comment the gizmo which Kev and Lol invented was used outside 10CC - amongst other users were Paul McCartney, Throbbing Gristle and even Jimmy Page used it for Led Zep tracks back in the day. The thing with the Gizmo is that it's so darn versatile that many people didn't realise what they were hearing and put it down to a synthesizer or somesuch. Gonna have to dig out the old record player from the attic I reckon....many thanks for the upload!!
The only thing that bothers me about this album is "25 and a half minutes past 10" because it clearly is not easily 17. I mean, yes, you can add 2+5+10 and get 17, but there is a half there. On the other hand, Lulu is 34, naturally (2x17), so multiples work. It is the damned .5 that is the scratch I'm not itching.
Who wrote the "comedy" jesus guys i know you have a personal relstionship with this album thing but tou cant blame the people at the debut listening party for wondering what the fuck is this all about.. and really its not comedy.its an attempt at it. But the music is very nice.
This album is an immersive experience, and along with 'L' and 'Freeze Frame' among my favourite Godley and Creme releases. Their collaboration with Sarah Vaughan resulted in a little pearl of a jazz ballad. Perfection!
In my opinion this may be one of the most underrated albums of all time.
It's too brilliant. It's too intelligent. It's too innovating. They deserve so much more.
In my opinion, 'underrated' may be one of the most overrated comments of all time.
How could I have forgotten....!!!! Sarah Vaughan's input is not just incredible on this, but one of the best vocal performances she ever came up with, and that is saying something!! One day, this whole thing will become a hell of a film or Broadway musical.......
Bought this when it came out in '77 and wore it out. What a fantastic piece of work.
Simply wonderful
most underrated album ever!!!
aged so well. pure gold.

I'll drink to that. In fact, I'll drink to anything.
If you're not a pigeon, don't eat corn, that's what I always say..
The reason is you have to slog through music forever before you get to the divorce and so on. No one (that I know of) does like mushrooms and sit down for the whole album anymore, even often pink floyd. We're all too busy about life.
I'd appreciate them, Jim :)
One of the best, if not the best concept albums ever.
A lost classic. The most unappreciated concept album ever.
Masterpiece! Peter Cook in excelsis.
This album actually saved my life.
My wife's uncle was CEO of Polygram. He gave me the box of Consequences because he knew I needed it. The sheer brilliance of the album gave me back my humanity. Thank you. 🙏
I adore the script, the acting and the wonderful songs on this album.. Thank God for the Rolls.

I have this 3 LP box set.
I bought two LP box sets. And bought it thrice on CD. :-)
Wow! I can't believe its on here I had this album back when it first was released, then for some reason it went missing mmmm haven't had a listen since thank you nightmelady it's brilliant.
19.20 sarah vaughn .......awesome
+darren irwin 18:20
+David Higgins yes song starts there but Sarah's vocals start at 19.20
I'm fully aware of that..I am recommending my friends not skip the intro.
@@DavidHiggins No, the song is to be listened to in its entirety. Thus Sarah's entrance is to the best effect.
Sowwy I'm late, I was delayed by headwinds on the M4. It's tewwible out! Thank God for the Rolls I say! Some of the cheaper cars were going backwards!
It's in 50,000 tiny hand tooled pieces!
I only drink at weddings, Yes, that's how I started, [cheers!]
@Sodham G'morris bad taste
Brilliant!! Brilliant I say! Right. Carry on.
It was put out on cd by one way records about 13 years ago.
Sailor is amazing I constantly miss the start time any ideas? otherwise I'm going again from the beginning!
I have this on record and cassette

@Ethan Gallagher-Thomas Well… Musicians flourish in an atmosphere of studied chaos. It took them years to achieve this mess. ;-)
EX Rebellion need to listen to this !
@stemannrocks
I bought the nails..
2020 anyone sounds like right now
i agree :)
Godley & Creme's classic music, Peter Cook's comic genius, Sarah Vaughan's sublime vocal, and.....the album flopped! Hmmm
I like the singing but cannot appreciate "comic genius" 'cause just cannot find out what says, my fault :)
***** That's a shame wolfy as Peter wrote the script and performed all of the characters - except Lulu of course! ;))
*****, lol, I don't know what I've lost, so that's all fine ;)
We all wonder about it.
@@wolverine3566 Here is what he says, in plain writing: www.suppertime.co.uk/blint/play.shtml :-)
you suppose that G&C conceived this album just so they could get a private performance of Peter Cook?? hmmmmm...
Yes! That selfish indeed!
mr pppppeperman!
Dialogue [#1] sounds scarily like some could have been Mitchell and Webb sketch ..
Well actually, same goes for Dialogue [#2], even more so

on the other hand I payed a lot for it in the 80`s allready more than 200 Euros!
My piano still needed tuning...

Joke?
@@gibbogle Joke
@@alexanderburke2973 I meant, it was Peter Cook's joke.
Holy fuck this is awful. Flopped for a good reason.
