Biography:
10cc are an English art rock and pop band. Initially comprised of four musicians - Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme - who had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the "10cc" name in 1972 - two strong song-writing teams, injected sharp wit to lyrically-dextrous songs.
Stewart and Gouldman were straight pop-song-writers, who created the band’s most accessible songs; Godley and Creme were the experimental half of 10cc, featuring an Art School sensibility and cinematic writing.

Notes:
1. This was the last 10cc album, collaboratively produced in the UK and France. Hence,
the title. (Graham) "Gouldman admitted the album was 'almost like two halves of an
album', largely a result of the fact that he and Stewart began recording in separate countries."
2. This is the first of two songs on that album in which Paul McCartney participated.
