How Dare You!

Formed in 1972, 10cc were both commercial and eccentric. Often referred to as the 'missing link between the Beatles and Blur', the band boasted four talented writers, singers, and multi-instrumentalists - Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Lol Creme, and Kevin Godley. Their music was known for its inventiveness and complexity. The 1976 album "How Dare You!" marked the departure of Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, yet it is filled with memorable melodies and creative flair. Tracks like "I'm Mandy Fly Me" showcase the group's ability to craft beautiful and intricate ballads, while "Art For Art's Sake" takes a dig at their critics. The album also features playful Python-esque elements in "I Wanna Rule The World" and the mellow soft-rock vibes of "Lazy Ways". This reissue stays true to the original 1976 Mercury Records UK release, complete with the iconic Hipgnosis-designed gatefold sleeve and printed inner, pressed onto high-quality 180gm vinyl.
