Track Listing:

1. Don't Ask
2. Overdraft In Overdrive
3. Don't Turn Me Away
4. Memories
5. Notell Hotel
6. Les Nouveaux Riches
7. Action Man In Motown Suit
8. Listen With Your Eyes
9. Lying Here With You
10. Survivor

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.

With an album cover like that, it's well worth checking out I suspect!

Thanks for the recommendation God. :thumb:

I'm a big 10cc fan! How Dare You is my fav album, Baron Samedi Live on the King Biscuit CD is my fav song.

I've got all their albums on CD except Ten Out of 10.

Anyone know where I can get a copy on CD?
Thanks!
