“10C.C.”

(1973 UK RECORDS LP – RARE UK FIRST PRESSING!!)

ON OFFER HERE IS THIS VERY RARE GENUINE UK FIRST PRESSING OF THE FANTASTIC SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM BY 10CC ON THE TURQUOISE & SILVER UK RECORDS LABEL.

THIS “COMPLETE” UK FIRST PRESSING IS SUPERB AND A FINER EXAMPLE WOULD BE PRETTY HARD TO LOCATE INDEED - AND IT COMES VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. FORGET ANY PRECONCEPTIONS ABOUT THIS BAND; THIS MARVELLOUS ALBUM COMES OVER AS FRANK ZAPPA MEETS THE EAGLES WITH AMAZING PLAYING AND WITTY SATIRICAL & SARCASTIC LYRICS!!

THIS WONDERFUL ALBUM WAS RECORDED AT THE FAMOUS MANCHESTER RECORDING STUDIO - STRAWBERRY!

THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE CARRIES A QUOTE FROM JOHN PEEL (DISC, March ’73) - “I’D LOVE TO HEAR A 10 C.C. ALBUM”.

RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING SYSTEM

MINT (M) THE RECORD ITSELF IS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION WITH NO SURFACE MARKS OR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND ANY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS THE LYRIC SHEET, BOOKLET OR POSTER ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. RECORDS ADVERTISED AS SEALED OR UNPLAYED SHOULD BE MINT.

EXCELLENT (EX) THE RECORD SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF HAVING BEEN PLAYED, BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE LESSENING IN SOUND QUALITY. THE COVER AND PACKAGING MIGHT HAVE SLIGHT WEAR AND/OR CREASING.

VERY GOOD (VG) THE RECORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN PLAYED MANY TIMES, BUT DISPLAYS NO MAJOR DETERIORATION IN SOUND QUALITY, DESPITE NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS AND THE OCCASIONAL LIGHT SCRATCH. NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE COVER OR EXTRA ITEMS, WITHOUT ANY MAJOR DEFECTS, IS ACCEPTABLE.

GOOD (G) THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED SO MUCH THAT THE SOUND QUALITY HAS NOTICEABLY DETERIORATED, PERHAPS WITH SOME DISTORTION AND MILD SCRATCHES. THE COVER AND CONTENTS SUFFER FROM FOLDING, SCUFFING OF EDGES, SPINE SPLITS, DISCOLOURATION, ETC.
