@@SeansMusicHunt Thanks dude. I've admired the talents of 10cc since I was a 6 year old kid in the middle mid seventies and then totally absorbed myself into their music with the release of their 1985 ish album Changing Faces, The Best of 10cc and Godley and Creme. Then I discovered a live in Japan CD in about 1992, which I've actually played to death, ( many of the tracks no longer play successfully😆) The live versions of Art for Art's Sake and I'm Mandy, Fly Me are among the greatest masterpieces ever put on record and to think they're live concert tracks, is nothing short of flabbergasting. The guitar solo on Art for Art's Sake is mind-blowing, audio perfection.

Nice job brother. You did a very thorough effort including a respectable tribute to the fabulous (to true Godley & Creme fans) "Consequences". I'm not crazy about hearing the dialogue more than a couple of times. But all of the music is exceptional and outstanding. Choosing G & C as subject matter is greatly appreciated by this fanatic. I am completely impressed with your achievement. You obviously put a lot of work into this. I totally agree with your assessment of "L". It is nothing short of brilliant. One small critique and it's very small. Its pronounced RUNcible as in "I had to run some errands". Not ROONcible. That's it. Otherwise you covered it all beautifully. You are to be commended.

Ya know, it's kind of funny that I make these types of videos for KZread but I rarely watch other KZread videos about bands and their histories. But it was probably in around 2017 or 2018 that KZread suggested a video about "I'm Not on Love" by 10cc. Previously, I had never really cared for that song, now understanding that I never actually heard the full version, nor did I understand the brilliance of how it was created. After watching that video, I eventually became a huge fan of 10cc And being a fan of experimental music and people who aren't afraid to express their creativity, I eventually dived into Godley and Creme. But just as a side note, ever since I was a teenager, I have enjoyed learning everything I can about old bands from the '60s and '70s.

Great job....

Being a huge fan of 10cc and G and C, thanks for posting. More a fan of G and C's art rock/pop music than their videos (they were very experienced, innovative talented musicians, creating and producing a very rich seam of music with 10cc)....I always lamented that they left 10cc as the fissure in '76 threw all into oblivion instead of stratospheric success that they were all deservedly due. They turned in to mediocre video moguls (and probably made pot loads of money in the process) and produced flat sounding records that their hearts weren't truly in whilst Gouldman and Stewart mostly turned into Paul McCartney at his most schmaltzy...............Very sad...Why couldn't they have taken a leaf out of Queen's book and stuck together as 10cc?

I especially appreciate the inclusion of Mondo Video. I recall seeing it for sale long ago at Virgin Records on Sunset Strip… and then bits of it landed up on KZread. It’s super indulgent in the weirdest but intriguing ways. These guys loved to play around in their video and tech sandbox… package it and move on to the next “what if we did this?” idea . ‘Kind of veering more into navel-gazering without much care to what happened commercially -or so it seemed. They floated in the commercial sphere on their one-time pop status and just when you thought they’d dried up …another release would come out. Now they seem to regard each other like the friends you knew in high school but never find a space in your adult life for. They both remain great heroes of the creative fringe who still had a foot in pop culture as well.

Always amusing to see someone defend (insofar as that's possible) that mess of a triple-album. Presumably they made a point of hiring Peter Cook rather than Spike Milligan (the malaproper responsible for the phrase "the disastrous Quincyquonces"). Goodbye Blue Sky is the outline of what could have been their best "pop" album - the Creme of that particular crop - but of course they'd "gotten religion" (again) so it ends up far too Godley for my liking.
