10cc have always been one of those bands I've been aware of, and liked what I've heard, but have never got around to giving them a proper listen to. So, to increase my knowledge of them, where better to start than with their 1973 eponymous debut?
A quick glance at the track list brings up two songs that most people will probably know - Rubber Bullets (a song that I've always loved) and Donna (one I don't particularly like). In addition, you've got The Dean and I, a title that I knew but wasn't sure of the song. However, it turns out to be one that I'd heard and liked but never knew the title of.
All in all, 10cc is exactly what I expected from a 10cc album. An eclectic mix of styles performed with flair and a high degree of musical ability. For an album that's 40 years old, the production sounds remarkably fresh and hasn't dated at all.
