    "Heap Big Production": Lol and Kev own this phrase.

    I always liked the Hipgnosis album covers...they were always creative.
    The How dare you album cover was like a movie scene that the viewer could see what was happening.

      Not sure if it's still n print, but there was a book published in 2013 called "The Gathering Storm" which I'd recommend (if you don't have it already).

    This definitely should have been used in the new Hipgnosis documentary.

    An unusual cover photo/s, but an excellent album - one of the best, together with Sheet Music, The Original Soundtrack, and Deceptive Bends (albeit not the same without Godley and Creme). I always liked The title track, I'm Mandy fly me, Iceberg, and Don't hang up. The last one is excellent, with Kevin Godley's falsetto-ish voice, the changes of key, and instrumentals, including a Harp, a Spanish guitar, and various percussion and sound effects, like on other tracks too.

      I expect because he doesn't! Probably moved on to something else. Will be re-editing all of these to make a longer watch anyway, soon, so if he does we'll uncover it!

      @@hypergallery I don't think 10cc really broke up because of personal differences, wasn't it mostly musical differences? Graham and Eric wanted to become more of a commercial band while Lol and Creme wanted to stick to creativity which led to their breakup. That's what I know at least... and with this in mind it'd seem rather rude for Lol not to mention Eric and Graham in that album cover.

      @@utub1473 it was a combination of factors. Add to musical differences the huge pressure on Kevin and Lol to stick with the group and cease all solo activities. Although I wish they'd have started developing that Revlon commercial into a song rather than "People in Love"

      @@DanRelayer_Ukraine my viewpoint is that godley and creme wished to remain as members of
      10cc but take time off to work on their own project "consequences" . Eric and graham weren't happy to allow this so they just left. Graham and eric realised after they had made a mistake. Though they joined up again for a project in I think 1992 it didnt go well. The last time I heard about lol and kevin dont communicate and eric and graham dont communicate. Although perhaps they have mellowed with advancing years. They'll all end up in the grave one day. As they are all in their 70s most likely in the night 15 to 25 or so years, still time for a comeback world tour of all 4. I am allowed to dream am I not.

      @@DanRelayer_Ukraine Godley and Creme pour huge cash and time into developing the "Gizmo" which was rendered instantly obsolete by the arrival of cheap polyphonic synthesizers. For a while they hung out with Pink Floyd after 10CC but the pair allegedly spent most of that time spaced out on drugs and achieved very little.

    So do the band members hate each other then?

    • @3DPeter
      @3DPeter Před 3 lety +1

      No, they all just had other plans in life. A band is like a job, so your band mates can become best friends or just good colleagues,
      but they sure no family from eachother and they all have their own lives. The same goes for movies, because for example, mel gibson
      has no contact with other actors who played in mad max, and that counts for about every movie and the actors who play in it.
      Sure when they promote a album or a movie, the stars pretend as if they all are best friends and hang out with each other all day,
      but that is just bull shit and just to keep the fans happy.

      Graham and Eric fell out seriously many years ago as is confirmed in Eric Stewart's autobiography. Eric and Lol actually married sisters so they are, and remain, brothers-in-law. Eric went on to work with Paul McCartney. Kevin and Lol worked together for many years after the demise of 10cc Mark 1 and directed many classic videos for the likes of Duran Duran, The Police, U2 and Frankie Goes To Hollywood. After Kev and Lol went their separate ways, Lol joined Art of Noise and continues to work with Trevor Horn. Kevin continues to make music videos for a wide range of artists. Graham fronts the current version of 10cc which still tours. Eric retired from music several years ago and now dedicates his time to restoring property in France.
