- 10cc are an English art rock band who achieved their greatest commercial success in the 1970s. The band initially consisted of four musicians—Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme—who had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the "10cc" name in 1972. Most of the band's albums were recorded at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking, with most of those engineered by Stewart.
- Peel was an early supporter of 10cc's singles. In March 1973, he told Disc magazine, 'I'd love to hear a 10cc album'. The quote subsequently featured on the back sleeve of their self-titled debut LP, released the same year.[1] In 1975, Peel put 10cc's UK number one hit single 'I'm Not In Love' at number 11 in his favourite singles of the year, as heard on his 19 December 1975 show. In Good Night And Good Riddance (p169), David Cavanagh suggests that Peel had been quick to play the track as a highlight of the band's "Original Soundtrack" LP, possibly influencing its release as a single.

- 10cc are an English art rock band who achieved their greatest commercial success in the 1970s. The band initially consisted of four musicians—Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme—who had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the "10cc" name in 1972. For the most part, 10cc featured two strong songwriting teams, one 'commercial' and one 'artistic', but both teams injected sharp wit into lyrically dextrous and musically varied songs. Stewart and Gouldman were predominantly pop-song-writers, who created most of the band's accessible songs. By way of contrast, Godley and Creme were the predominantly experimental half of 10cc, featuring an Art School sensibility and cinematic inspired writing. Every member of 10cc was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer and producer, and the writing teams regularly switched partners, so that Godley/Gouldman or Creme/Stewart compositions were not uncommon. After Godley and Creme left the band in 1976, Gouldman and Stewart were the main creative forces behind 10cc. Stewart left the band in 1996, and Gouldman continues to lead a touring version of 10cc to this day. Most of the band's albums were recorded at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking, with most of those engineered by Stewart.

In the post-punk era, 10cc's Strawberry Studios in Stockport were used regularly by Manchester area bands played by Peel, including Joy Division, The Smiths and Stone Roses.[2] After Peel's death, nine 10cc albums from the 1970s were among the first 100 LPs found from artists with names starting in numbers when details of his Record Collection were released by TheSpace and JohnPeelArchive websites.[3]
