10CC (Ten CC) Original Soundtrack (180g vinyl LP )

Release date&nbsp 01-04-2008 (Originally released in 1975)

2016 EU repressed on 180g LP - 10CC's 3rd album from 1975, including the hit singles I'm Not In Love and Life Is A Ministrone.  The Original Soundtrack's best moments rank with the finest work 10cc ever released; however, at the same time it also displayed what was to become their Achilles' heel -- the inability to make an entire album as strong and memorable as those moments.

Tracks:
Une Nuit A Paris (8:39)
A1.1 Part 1 - One Night In Paris
A1.2 Part 2 - Same Night In Paris
A1.3 Part 3 - Later The Same Night In Paris

B1 The Second Sitting For The Last Supper
B2 Brand New Day
B3 Flying Junk
B4 Life Is A Minestrone
B5 The Film Of My Love

 The album's opener, "Une Nuit a Paris" was nearly as marvelous; a sly and often hilarious extended parody of both cinematic stereotypes of life and love in France and overblown European pop. And side one's closer, "Blackmail," was a witty tale of sex and extortion gone wrong, with a superb guitar solo embroidering the ride-out. That's all on side one; side two, however, is a bit spottier, with two undistinguished tunes, "Brand New Day" and "Flying Junk," nearly dragging the proceedings to a halt before the band rallied the troops for a happy ending with the hilarious "The Film of Our Love." The Original Soundtrack's best moments rank with the finest work 10cc ever released; however, at the same time it also displayed what was to become their Achilles' heel -- the inability to make an entire album as strong and memorable as those moments.
