2. Overdraft In Overdrive
3. Don't Turn Me Away

I'll bet you are looking at this thread thinking "I remember 10cc, but I don't remember this album". That might be because this album was not a success ...
However, it did find a few listeners. The album's lead single Don't Turn Me Away failed to reach the US or UK charts, but in a surprise move, it became a BIG hit here in Canada. Filled with catchy lyrics, a wonderful sax solo and excellent use of a xylophone, it soared into the Canadian top 40 in 1982
For this album, original member Eric Stewart takes over the reins on vocals, and does equally as good a job as former founding members Godley & Creme did. Full of wonderful melodies, and catchy lyrics ... this album is in my top 20 of greatest albums of the 80's.
