Description: 10cc formed in 1972, initially consisting Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme who between them were creative pop and experimental songwriters, as well as multi-instrumentalists, singers and producers. They recorded most of their albums at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking. Originally signed to the UK Records label, 10cc first charted in September 1972 with their 50s pastiche Donna, which narrowly missed the #1 spot but spent a quarter of the year on the Singles Chart. Six months later 10cc had their first #1 single Rubber Bullets. They recorded two albums for the label before signing to Phonograms Mercury Records label in 1975.
