10cc: Lol Creme (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Graham Gouldman (vocals, guitar, bass); Eric Stewart (vocals, guitar); Kevin Godley (vocals, drums). Recorded live at the Santa Monica Civic Center, Santa Monica, California on November 11, 1975. Includes liner notes by Bruce Pilato. All tracks have been digitally remastered. 10cc's official live album, 1977's LIVE AND LET LIVE, was--typically for the time--an overslick, studio-tweaked, glossy bore. However, their edition of the KING BISCUIT FLOWER HOUR series of radio concerts was recorded on a more intimate scale. This concert in Santa Monica in November, 1975, on the band's last US tour with the original lineup of Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, Lol CrFme, and Graham Gouldman is a far superior example of 10cc's considerable stage presence. Although 10cc's songs tended to be sarcastic and savagely funny, they were first and foremost an outstanding art-pop band, musically somewhere between the complex sophistication of the Soft Machine or Steely Dan and the pure ...

King Biscuit Flower Hour (In Concert) (Import) Considering the sheer popularity of the original four-piece 10cc, surprisingly little extracurricular material has crept out of the vaults. The BBC still sits on a pair of 1974 radio sessions, while VHS and DVD collections routinely ignore the band's many television performances (including a brilliant 1974 In Concert performance). The earliest non-studio recording to have actually made it onto the shelves, then, was their November 1975 King Biscuit Flour Hour performance, a set that has since been reissued under a bewildering variety of titles, including this strikingly misdated effort. The error is understandable. For whatever reason, the original KBFH release highlighted only material from the group's first two albums; The Original Soundtrack, which was what they were actually promoting at the time, is altogether absent from the set! Don't be misled, then, and you won't be disappointed. This is a tremendous release, alive with all the charm, energy, invention, and eccentricity that ranked among the band's greatest attributes, together with a one-stop guide to 10cc's early greatest hits and bits. The boogie-licious Rubber Bullets is almost worth the price of admission alone, but you won't want to miss the gizmo-led Old Wild Men, a moody Somewhere in Hollywood, and even an hysterical Donna. 10cc's reputation is often said to be built upon the perfection of their studio recordings, and that is true. But they were a sensational live act as well, and here's the proof. ~ Dave Thompson, Rovi |
