Due for release this Friday, February 28, Parts of the Process is an 11CD set that offers the duo's seven studio releases - Consequences (1977), L (1978), Freeze

Godley and Creme Frabjous Days

Kevin Godley and Lol Creme might be best known as founding members of 10cc...or as a pioneering pop duo...or as directors of groundbreaking music videos for such artists as The Police, Duran Duran, Sting, and George Harrison.  But pre-fame, Godley and Creme recorded an unreleased album for impresario Giorgio Gomelsky.  Now, that album - and a clutch of related material - has finally seen the light of day from Cherry Red's Grapefruit imprint as Frabjous Days: The Secret World of Godley and Creme

Now Thats What I Call Yacht Rock

Shimmering guitars, breezy horns, smooth keyboards, and crisp vocals on well-crafted songs with catchy choruses: all of those qualities might have once described "soft rock" or "adult-oriented rock," but more recently the genre has experienced a resurgence as "yacht rock."  Though the term was originally intended in a pejorative way, it's come to be accepted by many of the progenitors of the genre including Michael McDonald and John Oates.  There's an entire book on the yacht rock phenomenon, a

10cc packshot

With apologies to Lady Gaga, it may be British band 10cc that's most worthy of the term "art pop." The multifaceted group yielded 11 Top 10 hits in their native England, including the No. 1s "Rubber Bullets," "I'm Not In Love" and "Dreadlock Holiday"; the group even crossed over into the U.S. charts with "I'm Not In Love" and "The Things We Do for Love," both Top 5 hits. By an amazing coincidence, not one, not two, but three 10cc-related catalogue collections are hitting stores starting next
