[edit] I'm not in Love

"I'm Not In Love" got back in the charts in 1995 with a diffrent version of the track, making #29, have added this to text as the current wording was wrong. 69.204.6.21 17:25, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Just thought i'd explain the general cleanup tag. The article needs a re-jig of the biography, really. As it is at the moment it isnt really NPOV ("boasted a wealth of talent"), and it isnt clear what happened when. It also needs images and an infobox. I would do the infobox now, but it isnt clear when they were together, when they were split (did they split in the 90's?), and who was in the band when. -- jeffthejiff 22:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm working my way through this now. Hopefully the chronology is a little easier to follow. The liner notes to a recent CD on their early Strawberry Studios output is a valuable source of info on their early career, including the wonderful song "Umbopo" which they released under the name of Doctor Father. I'll move on to this in the next few days.Grimhim 12:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Probably more work to do yet, but one question: can 10cc be said to be an existing band? The intro should probably refer to them in the past tense, while the sections dividing the stages of their career should probably note their demise after the "Meanwhile" album.Grimhim 11:45, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Here's another question: is art rock an accurate description of their genre? Wiki's definition of this term includes Brian Eno, Pink Floyd and Genesis, but after How Dare You, 10cc was a pure and simple pop band. There was precious little art rock on Look Hear? or Ten Out of 10. How precise should we be ... "the band was initially art rock but later in its career was pop"...?

[edit] Members

[edit] Rick Fenn

• Is Rick Fenn since 1976 until now a (current) member of 10CC, cause this Wikipedia Website says "Second lineup, 1976-present"?
• At which 10CC albums was Rick Fenn involved?

[edit] Trivia

10cc got thier name from same place as Lovin' Spoonful. One spoonful (tea spoon) is the equivalent of 10ccs. It takes 10ccs or a Lovin' Spoonful to knock a chick up. Chris66 September 9 2006

It's one of the stories, but is there a reputable source?Grimhim 22:09, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a mishearing of an urban legend. See [1] for a debunking.

[edit] Does this band still exist?

There's no suggestion that 10cc will ever record or play again. Gouldman is touring with former 10cc members as "Graham Gouldman and Friends" and Eric Stewart is doing his own thing. Hence my usage of the past tense. Grimhim 20:40, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

10cc are touring as "10cc featuring Graham Gouldman and friends". See http://www.the10ccfanclub.com/htm/framsne.htm. Therefore I think the band still exists, in name at least. Cpc464 11:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough; I can't argue if that's what he's calling his band. I'd clocked GG & Friends in under Gouldman's own Wiki entry, so I'll update the 10cc entry to note Stewart's absence from the band since 1995 and the fact that a slightly altered lineup has been touring with GG since 2004.

[edit] Live discography

10cc In Concert (King Biscuit CD) apparently was initially issued with incorrect liner notes, stating the concert was recorded in 1974. 10cc fan club [2] identifies other errors in the liner notes and concludes the concert was definitely recorded at Santa Monica Civic Center, Nov 75. Later reissues of In Concert correct the date. Grimhim 10:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Creme's spelling

I have reverted all the changes that added the accent to Lol Creme's name. None of the 10cc or Godley and Creme records used this accent; presumably they would have done if he considered it part of his name Grimhim 04:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
