These are two very, very fine albums, and the inclusion of the b-sides is wonderful. But-- could someone PLEASE tell me why the company would arrange it so that the second album ("Sheet Music") is first, and that the running order of the first album is completely out of whack? Other than these small complaints, this is a fine reissue. 10cc are fantabulous, and included here are about 88 of their finest minutes. Enjoy.
How many times are the first two 10cc albums going to be repackaged? This smacks of opportunism and given the band's small devoted following it's unlikely that long time fans are going to buy this. Who is this record really for?
All of the material included here is available on the import German editions (with more bonus tracks I might add)and the sound is very good. The running order is correct on the original individual releases as well. Personally I believe this is because their original manager is licensing these two albums and the outtakes to anyone who wants them. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when an artist has little or no say so as to how their work is packaged.
The first album deserves 4 stars while the second, superior album deserves 5. The 3 stars? That's because this has been packaged and released by corporate bloodsuckers.
