I worked for Lasky's in the Arndale Manchester. The four came in and was the lucky one to serve them. I sold them a Philips video recorder each, Graham asked for his to be delivered and installed. He was not home when I went to install it, he lived in what looked like a Swiss Chalet. His maid answered and showed me to the bedroom where it was to be installed. The carpets were all white and about 2" thick, his bed was bigger than my bedroom and there were gold discs on the walls. A memory I have treasured all my life. Wonderful group and amazing music, so much talent.
I was raised strictly, when the world finally opened for me, this was MY band. No one else knew. I consumed 10cc like a perfect meal, each & every time. Unbelievable. Thank you.
@@smacreavy Let's face it ... this isn't just music history. It's not even just social history. This is actually archaeology, isn't it? The study of material remains of the industry of members of a culture group to enable us to complete the story of that culture group. That definition works at two levels: 1970s pop culture in the UK and 10cc themselves!
Those masks are a depressing reminder of the time when the world turned upside down and our pockets were emptied. And are still being emptied. From Neanderthal Man onwards these guy were so refreshing 👍
Probably the ultimate 10cc rarity, great background story and of course thanks for sharing. Thanks also to Lol, Kevin, Graham and Eric for making some of the most inventive, witty, fantastic and just plain enjoyable music of the seventies. You were great.
@@smacreavy I wish that automatic closed captions were enabled. Can you fix that now? Hearing impaired & non native language speakers would be infinitely grateful!
I just love this! I'm a 10cc super geek from childhood. Definitely agree with the others who say that this band is up there with the Beatles in creativity and pure warped pop genius. I finally got to see 10cc live in Belgium about 5 years ago. We had house-swapped in a little town called Eeklo, and it just so happened that they were the headline act at an annual music fest there. I was blown away, and overjoyed. Thanks for making this doc! And thanks to 10cc.
When I was about 9 or 10 yrs old, my big sister took me with her to a place called “The Preview House” in Hollywood, CA. It was a testing theatre for various media such as, TV shows, feature films, commercials, music, etc. We would sit in an audience and watch or listen to whatever they played for us and with a small handheld unit, we would rate the experience. Sometimes throughout the playback and sometimes after. One time I distinctly remember the room going dark, and I heard a beat, then all of a sudden I was mesmerized by the sound that filled the theatre. It was an ethereal and enveloping chorale that excited my ears like never before. It was as if I was transported into my own mind, floating and wandering through a spatial abyss. It was wonderful. The song they were playing was “I’m not in love” by 10cc. My young self could hardly process the lyrics but the music had me fully, and happily entranced. Easily, my most memorable visit to the Preview House. That song also played a big part in my becoming a musician. By the way, I gave them an A rating.
This was an utter delight to watch. I was 6 yrs old when I’m Not In Love was released and nothing takes me back to that era as immersively or as immediately as that record. Decades later it’s sound still blows me away.
I've sat motionless having stumbled across this and have the same heartfelt adoration for four absolutely incredible human beings that are and always will be 10cc. To have gone to the extremes you guys did to bring the Revlon ad music to the big screen.... That is, TH-cam has been a highlight of my years in love with music. To have KG and GG in the final part was truly wonderful. Many, many people will one day be in awe of these musicians like... Just as we are, yet they haven't been born yet. Poor sods! A privilege to have been alive through the careers of the members of 10cc. Thank you for sharing such a gem.
Think of all the people yet born who are going to hear 10cc for the first time, just like we did back in the day, and the joy it will bring them. "Poor sods"? Hardly.
Wow thanks for putting this out there for all of us to see and hear, good to see Graham and Kevin's reaction too, just love this band the production on those 70's albums were just sublime, what talent thanks again :-)
Fantastic video - thank you for taking the time to do this and for putting it up on TH-cam. so many happy memories associated with 10cc - takes meback to the 70's and my broken hearted teenage years!
I'm a super 10CC lover from Tokyo, Japan. Thank you for your fantastic documentary video(Great 10CC lost tapes!!). Just amazing! ! Though I'm a rock band director/manager, I know sometimes the band forgets about their recording for some songs used in a commercial haha.
This is a fantastic video. I have only just seen it today but it is wonderful. You can feel the excitement of unearthing the track and the conversations with Graham and Kevin are great.
That was just incredible. Massive fan from the first album, would SO love to be able to chat to any of them now. And Liam's book was a fantastic read too! Thanks for sharing...
What a wonderful insight into how they constructed and worked...even though they can't remember it! Thankful that there are folk about who treasure the "physical" part of having music around. I'm still proud of the fact that people took the mick when I bought the first album to go with my Hotlegs 45. It took The Original Soundtrack to shut most of 'em up!
Im very fortunate to own Erics 56 Fender Stratocaster that he used in tandem with a Les Paul back then. He owned it for over 40 years and through all of 10CC and on 3 Paul McCartney albums!
Thank you for this! This band has fascinated me and inspired me to pick up music and try to write lyrics, so they're pretty important to me. Thank you for the time everyone put into making this.
Absolutely loved this... beautiful harmonies on the Revlon ad. Lol did a guest spot last summer at Fairport Convention's Cropredy Festival in August, and it was so lovely to see his face and know he's ok. To my delight, 10cc are performing at the same festival in 2023. Tickets went on sale yesterday. I saw them play a couple of months ago at The Swan Theatre in High Wycombe... it was wonderful!!! I've loved the band since seeing them on TOTP performing Donna. ♡♡♡
What a treat to have stumbled on this and what a great story. I'll forever remember the huge sense of disappointment I experienced when, as a 16 year old kid late in 1976, I heard on the radio that Kevin and Lol had left 10CC. Even at that early age and having been a big 10CC fan since Rubber Bullets, I sensed they would be different going forward. When I finally got the chance to see them for the first time at Hammersmith Odeon (Deceptive Bends tour) in June, 1977 I was thrilled. If memory serves correctly, there were two circular screens, lowered from above the stage for the beginning of Feel The Benefit, against which was projected a faintly lit naked girl swimming underwater. I remember that because a few rows behind me a guy shouted out "you dirty "ol man" when that was shown. To my surprise, when I subsequently first heard the live album, there it was, immortalized forever. Still hard to fathom that Sheet Music has been on my record shelf for 50 years and I still love playing it.
Such an adventure! To see your joy when what was on the tape was heard, was like being a kid with their first bike....thanks so much for your wonderful work....and lovely to see Kevin amd Graham talk about this....even though they can't remember it!!😊
Fascinating video. I had an FX900 until last year from Strawberry, that my Dad bought from Rhythm House in the mid 90s. Also, a school friend mine lived next door to one of 10cc during the 80s, in New Mills.
What a amazing find this is and so great to hear the left n right so distinctive When i heard this for the first time i welled up I suppose this is our modern day reunion Please lads just get back for one more time the world needs 10cc original line up
This was brilliant! I would be really interest in see a "making of..." for this if you had any more B-Roll. Concentrating on the technical challenges of restoring the tapes and the studio set up. I'm sure someone at "Sound On Sound" magazine would be really interest in that too possibly.
This is amazing and so interesting. My hero's and agree that 10cc are so talented and underrated. I love the Consequences masks, can they be purchased?
Thanks! I just ordered our masks off the net - sent them a photo, and they arrived in the post. ;- ). Not good quality though. There are plenty of custom mask companies around...
the most intriguing story in music is of the Neil Sedaka album 'The Tra La Days Are Over' which was recorded at strawberry studios and featured 10cc on it as a band, before they were a band. it's a fascinating, overlooked story and also one of my favourite albums of all time, yet not on spotify etc, the album and story around it just vanished. I have it on vinyl
A true delight and beautifully told with humour , excitement and the trademark forensic qualities which i love. The inclusion of the two Mr Gs adds to the story and viewing pleasure as they did it and it is great to hear their memories or lack of them ! So Sean , Paul and Liam and everyone involved you all brought your own talents to this project and it all blended together wonderfully . As a 10cc fan since 1975 a big thank you for bringing this about , because it is important !
Thank you SO MUCH for this gem! It's such a priceless gift for a fan like me! The track somehow strongly reminds me of "Lazy Ways" off How Dare You. Maybe due to the common tonality and similar harmonic structure (both are in C-Major and share some moments of common chord progressions). The instrumentation is rather similar too, especially with those repeated guitar chords - tape echo effect etc. I don't exactly remember if this was mentioned in the video, sorry if it was already mentioned! It's so clear to me that both tracks were created during the same period and probably by the same composer/s, so Eric Stewart - Lol Creme in this case.
@@smacreavy Great work, Sean! Thanks for bringing this to us. And for the record, I think its a beautiful piece of music. ;-) EDIT: I meant to also comment, that little flat 5th descending piano line on the commercial sounds an awful lot like the intro guitar to Survivor....
Dunno how many times I've watched this video now, and every time I do, I keep picking out likenesses between the Revlon music, and other 10cc tunes. For example, the backing vocal voicings on the D chord are very reminiscent of the backing vocals that bring in Art For Art's Sake, as are the various guitar picky bits in the intro and middle section of AFAS to the piano part in the Revlon music. I think it says that in 1976, the members of 10cc were definitely thinking about certain musical themes in their own and the band's music.
@@smacreavy Btw Sean, re podcast 65, just to throw some more ambiguity and uncertainty into the backing vocal issue for you, I can definitely hear a high G on only the A, above Kevin's E, which would make that chord an A7. I'm fairly certain its not an overtone, because it seems to gently fade in on that chord, as though the person singing it only introduces it at that point. That note sung gentler, coupled with Eric's quieter part too, could that track have possibly been a bounce of two separate takes, Eric's part being a piece of one that was bounced in at a lower volume? Definitely very strange!
Wow am a fan from 1st single to today. I remember seeing the melody maker front cover in the newspaper stand in piccadilly gardens with the news of the split in 1976. It broke my heart. Having seen them twice in manchesters fth just a few months prior where they were riding the crest of a wave prior to world success. Hearing this new recording is simply magic. Thanks to all involved. Youve made an old manc very happy indeed.
In '70's all my pals had heavy, soul, punk etc and I chose 10cc,. Best thing I ever did was slow dance to INIL to my future gf and the rest of course is history. Thanks, loved this film and of course your 10cc book 👌
Great input from Kevin's dog, too. I always had the impression that Mr Godley's bite was worse than his bark. Still some evidence of that here, thank goodness!
That was so great! BTW...the Dr. Pepper ad they were referring to was written and sung by Jake Holmes. He is another one of my musical gods! What a coinkidink?!!!
Watched this again with a huge smile on my face. I have to ask, Sean: You said at the end in the credits that Eric and Lol had heard the Revlon tape and didn’t remember it either. Did they have any comments or ideas you can share with us?
Hi Jenifer. I wish we did! Neither Eric nor Lol remembered it either. Eric had nothing more to say, and Lol wasn't too impressed! Interestingly, he thought it was Graham singing... :- )
Loved watching this Sean! Be great if there were more treasures somewhere. I was always led to believe that Eric had all the 10cc multi-tracks for some reason. I find it hard to believe there isn't something else in the vaults...especially after the alternative mixes of a couple of songs on the "Tenology" box set - and surely demos (and un-used b-sides for the 5 planned singles) for the "Meanwhile" album exist somewhere. Hope you guys will keep digging, and get that elusive chat with Eric and Lol.
I loved the original lineup of 10CC and still do. Best band ever ❤️

I remember Laskys in Manchester. I think I bought my Akai GX4000DB from there and cost me £250. I still have it!
Amazing story John!
You deserve the memory! 💫
I was raised strictly, when the world finally opened for me, this was MY band. No one else knew. I consumed 10cc like a perfect meal, each & every time. Unbelievable. Thank you.
Great stuff - thanks!
It is like opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb.
10cc were a brilliant band.
Aye, they were. SO many people have compared this to King Tut! Cheers.

Great video, shout out to Sad Cafe, another Manchester legend who made some superb records.
This is just amazing. Thanks for preserving this guys. A lost gem from one of the best bands of the 70s.

Thank you. And I couldn't agree more on INIL!
Irreplaceable creativity with this outstanding duo. I never tire of their music.
Duo? There were four members of 10cc 😁
That was nothing short of fantastic. Well done everyone concerned.
@@staggerlee6794 thank you!
I never miss a chance to pass on 10cc to anyone I discus music with... what a band... great doc guys 👍👍👍👍

You're welcome! 100% agree.
I am beyond excited and thrilled! 🤩 I cant thank you all enough for this brilliant gem! ❤❤
Ha ha, thank you!
First time I heard them was 1973 Donna, have always enjoyed the original line up with Eric. 2024 I still listen to them. Best line up ever
Fantastic video - thank you for taking the time to do this and for putting it up on TH-cam. so many happy memories associated with 10cc - takes meback to the 70's and my broken hearted teenage years!
Thank you!
Needs to be a sad cafe documentary
...and good idea!
I thought it was odd when this new song unexpectedly popped up on Spotify. Now I know who's responsible. A huge thanks to these lads!!
Thank you!

As I've just been able to hear Somewhere in Hollywood in my car I can say I loved hearing the tap dancing on it!
Thank you for this! This band has fascinated me and inspired me to pick up music and try to write lyrics, so they're pretty important to me. Thank you for the time everyone put into making this.
Pleasure!
This fills me with joy! Thank you so much!!
Don't think I've been so nervous for a long time, worried you guys would cook the tapes! What a relief it all worked! Good job guys.
Ha ha, thanks. That tickled me!
Fantastic guys and to get Graham & Kevin’s input made this even better
Yes, stroke of luck that, wasn't it?! Thank you Dean.

All that is so lovely - thank you guys❤
They should have never never never ever split up. They were at their peak. The best was yet inside this great 4-artists-team.
This is amazing overall by you lads. Funny how 10CC were such perfectionists that they found it twee and simpering.
Thanks so much Kris! And yes, 100% agree.
A wonderfully told wonderful mystery story. Well done.
Thanks so much.
What an interesting find...quite ironic none of the members remember recording it!
I'd love to give this a tumbs up, but I haven't washed my hand for a while.
😉
Fantastic. Thanks for sharing such an incredible 10cc adventure.
Thank you! You're welcome.
Love this. Brought up listening to them. Still do. Thank you Sean.
Same here - thanks Dawn!
Just lovely, this little advert has brought me such joy this morning.
That's so good to hear, Scott!
Well, that brightened my day a good deal. Been a fan since Rubber Bullets. Good baking, all!
Cheers Blain!
I wept watching that. It made me realise what a catastrophe it was when they split and how much I miss the four of them together, even today.

Hilarious, thank you Peter!
Great group
Stunning piece of music.
Fantastic!
Thanking you!
Great video.
Your enthusiasm is infectious 😂❤
I enjoyed that very much! Maybe a little too much lead up though. Thank you for keeping the 10cc spirit alive. One of my favourite bands.
Thank you. Ours too!
Fantastic. Thank you!
You're welcome, thank you!
A pleasure to watch this and great to see Peter Wadsworth (he is always up to something that fella )
Fantastic ! Loved this - bloody well done to all involved 👏
Cheers Jim!
Great stuff! What a delight to watch. Like you guys, I'm a life long 10cc addict (12 when I heard How Dare You! for the first time).
Ditto! Thanks.
That was so great! BTW...the Dr. Pepper ad they were referring to was written and sung by Jake Holmes. He is another one of my musical gods! What a coinkidink?!!!
Fascinating documentary - good job!
Thanks John!
1976 Knebworth...I was there...10CC was all i was interested in seeing
Watched this again with a huge smile on my face. I have to ask, Sean: You said at the end in the credits that Eric and Lol had heard the Revlon tape and didn’t remember it either. Did they have any comments or ideas you can share with us?
Hi Jenifer. I wish we did! Neither Eric nor Lol remembered it either. Eric had nothing more to say, and Lol wasn't too impressed! Interestingly, he thought it was Graham singing... :- )
Loved watching this Sean! Be great if there were more treasures somewhere. I was always led to believe that Eric had all the 10cc multi-tracks for some reason. I find it hard to believe there isn't something else in the vaults...especially after the alternative mixes of a couple of songs on the "Tenology" box set - and surely demos (and un-used b-sides for the 5 planned singles) for the "Meanwhile" album exist somewhere. Hope you guys will keep digging, and get that elusive chat with Eric and Lol.
Thanks so much. Yeah, we're chipping away at this... There *is* stuff - not much though, I don't think - and I'm determined to get it out there!
