Paul and Sean froth at the mouth in awe of this wonderful record.
We look in detail at 10cc's sparkling and eclectic second album, waxing lyrical at, er, the lyrics, and the constantly inventive collaboration machine that was these four Manchester lads. This podcast tracks the huge progress the band made with new instruments and sounds, the uniqueness of the (often bonkers) song ideas, the references, influences and innovations. We examine Eric's emergence as a hit-making force, Graham's brilliant bass playing, and the continuing development of Lol and Kev's cinematic imaginations.
There's so much in this podcast, and it's our longest as a result. We hope you enjoy our journey into this classic album!

Thankyou guys, so so so much! I'm hugely excited I've found your series, I'm only on my second ep and hanging off every word!

Do you think there is any relation between the song title "4% Of Something" and the Yes song title "55% for Nothing"? Is this a poke at Johnathan King, or a little Yes piss-take? Too similar to be coincidence.

Good to hear you will discuss the brilliant album covers

Thanks very much. We kind of forgot to mention the artwork. We have a episode on TOS next week and we do talk about that a bit. My own personal favourite of the four is actually the first one because Lol drew it himself. Paul

Wonderful podcast. My favourite album! I’d love for you to discuss the album art more- plenty to dissect.
