Anyway, for those younger than 40, 10cc was a successful
band that put out a string of terrific singles and albums
and whose songbook included the massive sellers Art for
Art's Sake, I'm Not in Love and I'm Mandy Fly
Me.
Add to those the pleasing to the ear Wall Street Shuffle,
Good Morning Judge, The Things We Do For Love,
Rubber Bullets and the reggae Dreadlock Holiday
off Bloody Tourists and you had a band that was different
and cool.
10cc Alive: The Classic Hits Tour brings back a lot
of good memories and while the quality of the DVD is okay,
the music itself is great.
It was filmed during the band's comeback tour in Japan in
the early '90s and has most of the songs 10cc fans want to
hear. It has to be said I was a tad gobsmacked that I'm
Mandy Fly Me wasn't included - but, hey, when have I ever
been a good judge of music?!
The video transfer is very soft, although the colours are
fine, and the sound is a tad muddy. Keeping in mind that these
guys were well ahead of the pack in terms of additional sounds
in their albums that's a bit disappointing.
However, all that said, it is fantastic to have these guys
on DVD as a permanent record of how great a group they were.
Fans should have a really good look at this one!
