I'm Not in Love: The Story of 10cc- changed, cleaned-up American cropped version 

There is more talent in 10cc than in all of the bands today combined.

I still think that How Dare You is one of the best, most complete albums from start to finish that I ever heard. It was just brilliant. And, I'm Not In Love is my first musical memory. I have still never heard anything as good. 10cc is one of the very best bands in rock history.

The talent within this band was something else - convinced "Im Mandy" is one of the best songs ever committed to vinyl - simply perfection...

10cc one of the Best bands of 20th century

Seen 10cc many times at Glasgow Apollo, before and after the split. Three times in one week, would have been 4 if Lol Creme hadn't lost his voice! Musically they were brilliant, their lyrics were very clever and funny. I often wonder what gems we would have got had they stayed together a little longer. Thanks for the memories guys it's been a blast 👍👍

one of my fave bands...sort of a 70s beatles...witty, creative, melodic...

They are one of the best bands in the world!!

I had no idea they were that accomplished both before and after that song. I'm 52, so I'm Not In Love was all over the radio in my youth. But I was more of a metal head and never closely paid attention. These are four seriously talented guys.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤗👏👏👏👏👏

Lovely to hear Graham Nash say such warm things about Graham Gouldman.

Growing up in the 70s I can't tell you how this band amongst many I loved - if not the best. 'I'm not in Love' still especially runs a chill if that's the word down my spine & heart re a girl I knew back then when it was released. That is the joy of listening to these past tracks and how it takes you back to a time in your life. GREAT BAND and great days growing up. Today I pity in may ways kids (my age back then) dealing with social media.

The BBC must be so pleased to have you editing their documentaries - and what luck for the rest of us, getting to experience 64 slices of soapy American cheese where some of the music videos and at least one interview used to be.

4 excellent musicians came together❤️❤️❤️

The Beatles, 10cc and Godley & Creme. That's all I need. It doesn't get ANY better than that.

The greatest love of the 70s by the legendary 10cc I am not in love masterpiece set in stone

Fanatastic rockumentary of one of the most interesting bands I ever had the pleasure of calling one of my all time faves.

Pure class.

10cc encapsulates all that was good of my mid teen years and underlined that I really did have good taste in music Thank you!

Brilliant.. 10cc one of my favorite bands growing up in that era. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

!0cc will always be my number one band! It makes me sad that they will never work together again. Their awesome!!

Brilliant band! Great little doco here. They split up a couple of years before I was born but I adore them and still listen to them regularly.

What an amazing band, they were so lucky to have that history and talent although very sad they split in 76.

All the guys in 10CC were phenomenal individually and as group. Still a real pleasure Just unbelievable. Gouldman Creme Stewart. My heroes really.

I listened to Radio Luxembourg, station 208 on the medium wave band. I was fifteen and living in Madrid. It was 1969 and I heard Neanderthal Man. Hot legs were the band. I did not know at the time that they would become 100CC, one of my faves. Still listen to them when the mood strikes. Now I am 70. Living in Washington state. Funny how things work out. Cheers!

I grew up around three miles from Strawberry Studios and as my musical "awakening" happened when I was 15 in 1972 10cc and SRS played a big part of my life at that time. But the studio may never have existed. In June 1967 a DC4/Argonaut airliner belonging to British Midland Airways crashed less than 200 yards away killing 72 people, with 12 survivors. 200 yards to the right was Stockport Police Station and directly opposite was an Edwardian pub. The aircraft was reported to have clipped one of the chimneys of that building.

i only have 3 musical genius's in my life...10CC...BEACH BOYS...& THE EAGLES...I FEEL VERY VERY PRIVALEGED .

Rubber Bullets was my first 45. I bought it from my mate. Deceptive Bends was my first CD. I was working at Philips TMC in Airdrie and bought my first CD player from the staff shop. My first 12", well, Dirty Deeds 🤭

Amusing (amazing) film. I love 10cc. Thank you.

I remember their music back in the "70's as a kid. Great memorable songs on the radio..as many were at that time. So 10cc was one of those bands.. , there was a lot of great music on the airwave, so much different styles and variety. The thing about the "I'm not in love"..hit that struck me was the sound. We had an old stereo radio and the vocals on that song made it as if the song came out of every corner of the room! Also the name 10cc got stuck in my head. Little did I know they were of that importance in music history..all that became more aparent later! This video surely underlines their influence!!

Started fantastic, and than I get videos of old movies and TV shows with the original ton from the documentary. What gives?

Amazing musicians.

Just brilliant!

I never knew that Graham Gouldman wrote my two favorite songs by the Yardbirds! Wow, what a Talented Musician! And Song Writer. I agree he should be recognized for his Top Songs that He Wrote! I don't think he's been given enough Credit for his talent and worth to the Whole of Roots Rock and Roll as far as the British Invasion goes. The Mind Benders were also amazing! Groovy kind if Love! Wow! That's one of the Best Love Songs Ever Written and Preformed Both Live and Studio Versions! I never knew there was so much talent in 10 cc. I'm not in Love is really what put 10 cc into Super Stardum as far as things go, but my favorite 10 cc song is Black Mail because of the Beat, singing and flow of the song! Also, completely Original!

Thoroughly enjoying this. Thank you for posting this channel. Absolutely fantastic group of guys having fun and making music that put everybody else to shame really!

This AMAZZING band were just so inventive with music, harmony, lyrics.....so influential and seriously, look upp songs written by Gouldman before they were even formed. They were so good they had the confidence to be inventive, imaginative...no fear. Nobody told them what to do. Just one of the best ever and in the same breath as the Beatles. And yet, lost to time. Eh? You only kn ow 'Dreadlock Holiday' and Oh Donna?....HOW DARE YOU! I wrote this ages ago on a comment to the song "Don't Hang up" So weird to hear them say the same here. BTW....Give your life a huge present and listen too Don't Hang Up ....just beyond pop etc.

Saw them in 75 at the tower …by my self….wow great band

18:25 THIS is what happens when human creativity is not hindered by corperations.

Why are Kevin and Lol's brilliant videos replaced by ridiculous US soap opera segments? These videos are all on RU-vid anyway

Ole Mole those kids were brilliant

The record for me and my beautiful wife. Despite the words we've been together for 48 years. Maybe I am in love......

“Sheet Music”, baby! Read the Rolling Stone review… …took a chance… …listened to the album. Hooked for Life.

Lol is so right about being on Atlantic in America. Atlantic were a seriously powerful force on the charts. I recently saw a top 20 chart from around 1972, and Atlantic had 6 albums in that Top 20. It's a shame they couldn't have been on Virgin. They would have shared home with XTC, who are 10cc's natural successors ;)

624 voices choir is really amazing, i am a big Beatles fan but this song anf Bohemian Rhapsody rules it i love singing and a capella is the best

What are the strange film clips all about ?

What if.... what if???? WHAT IF THEY GAVE US ONE MORE ALBUM??? It would change the world!!! I would rather see them do that than see any other band to date!!!

And then there is the whole other story of the amazing Godley and Creme.

The subtitles are hilarious in parts.

They used a Helios console in the studio that enabled them to basically play the voices backing track to I’m Not In Love.

I would actually love to hear the original bossa nova version of I'm Not In Love.. this was a great documentary, however the edits were completely unnecessary and childish, even.

Great band, fascinating documentary. The Gizmo was always going to be a bit of a stretch though. :)

I guess it’s a matter of taste but to me “Consequences” is an awesome 3 disc accomplishment. Much of Godley & Crème’s work is exceptional and outstanding. I’m a massive 10cc fan. But I really lean toward Kevin and Lol as far as innovative music.

I love the original 10cc, but I also love “Deceptive Bends”; for me, every single track on that album is a winner. And “L” remains one of my favorite albums of all time.

Definitely my favorite

Great captioning, guys...

Again, Kathy's wrong line in midsong, "Big boys don't cry" does not make any sense. 33:48

Great music, but what's with the clips of American shows (instead of the original videos) that seem to have nothing to do with the content? They really take away from the experience. Is this something to do with calling it the "changed, cleaned-up American cropped version", and a reflection of not being able to get copyright on the videos? I just don't get it. Mind you, I don't get a lot of what goes on in RU-vid these days!

It's a smash. . . People actually spoke like that in them days!

Can you imagine Freddie Mercury as part of this group of guys? OMG I made this comment before they ever got to mentioning queen on the video. I guess it really was that obvious.

10cc does not need approval from The Feeling.

Loved 10cc Greater than the Sum of its Parts.

the subtitles are really off someone needs to correct them

It would be great if the original 4 members with the new members did a world farewell tour.

Well, I would have enjoyed that immensely, were it not for the spaz who took the unilateral decision to blank out the bits he thinks aren't relevant.

As a young kid listening to 10cc, I found them funny as hell and great musicians. They kinda were weird Al before wired Al.

I’m just not getting all the extraneous TV show/film insertions here, which have nothing to do with anything. And the cover versions? Baffling. I can’t believe they were actually part of the original documentary.

There’s a bit of contradiction here. I live in Dorking Surrey. The legend was that the Strawberry Studios were in a former old cinema in Dorking. 10cc’s records were made here. In fact one of their albums was called Deceptive Bends. This was named after the famous dangerous bends at Meiklham near Dorking. It was here too that Eric Stewart had his infamous road accident when he was nearly killed. Can anyone clarify. Wherever, they were a great band and I’m not in Love still a great song. 🙋‍♂️🇬🇧👏👏

33:10. Art of Noise sampled her into their song Camilla about half way into it. I’m just now realizing where the original voice came from.

No...its called an ego....its tge devil. No one wants to admit they thought more of themselves than the group as a friendship/family a fraternity, brothers. BEEGEES. No mater what dont leave brothers.

43:28 --- Kevin Godley is pretty smarmy in his reaction to "The Things We Do For Love." This is a great song that's still being listened to nearly 50 years later . . . meanwhile his self-indulgent 'avant garde' album "Consequences" is long forgotten, and rightly so --- it's crap, and "The Things We Do For Love" isn't.

Some of the sounds on Consequences are still astonishing to this day but i really wish they hadn't done it.

41:08 Does Lols prototype Gizmo even work anymore? Can he’s still use it or get it running again? Why did he stop using it after 1979?

This is an excellent documentary. I just don't understand the use of clips from One Day At A Time and The Peanuts.

Kathy 's last line, "Big boys don't cry." is wrong, plus it doesn't fit the song's actual title, "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc. In addition to that, repeating that prejudiced line, "Big boys don't cry" to hurt all the men and boys all over town just to spread gossip and rumors everywhere is very foolish, plus it made that song a mess that no one in the world could tidy up by erasing her middle part that was a bad mistake. 33:47

stockport dan. eric especially was a genius in the studio.

I saw them at Knebworth in 76. It was very very hot

I didn't realilize Eric was in two songs that were popular then.

49:49 Why did they play “People in Love” 1977 from Deceptive Bends when Eric and Graham were talking about early 80’s 10CC?, that’s late 70’s 10cc. Why didn’t they play a song from “Look Hear? 1980 or Ten Out of 10 1982 or Windows in the Jungle 1983 when they talked about that era?

Too many ads!!!!!!

What's all the sitcom nonsense in the middle? Was that in the original documentary?

Brillo!

WHAT IS WITH THESE TV SHOW INSERTIONS??? What do Luke, Laura, or Charlie Brown have to do with Kev, Lol, Eric, or Graham?

And how great is Dreadlock Holiday?!!!!!🚒

..great Kev.. three weeks for an album... Black Sabbath did their debut in 1 day, and went off to Hamburg to play The Starclub....

subtitles are rubbish, band brilliant

💘👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Brilliant documentary but the closed captions are hilariously inaccurate.

Ahhhhhh...

Saying "Be quiet!" in the middle of 10cc's meaningful serious pop ballad, "I'm Not in Love" is not allowed and it's totally rude, which I know is not very nice. 33:46

I think “life is a minestrone” Is code for life sucks because no one that I know raves about minestrone soup. When it came down to writing that song, they must’ve had a list of soup choices. Was gazpacho and mulligans stew the other choices on the list of unappealing soups?

OLD MEN TALKING ABOUT YOUNG MEN

Cleaned up? not really, but maybe another try at this valuable documentary and it'll get there. First off, fix the aspect - oval shaped kick drums aren't in vogue ;-). Secondly, up the rez to at least 1080p. You can do it! Or, send me the footage

I was looking forward to this. The stupid TV show clips in the middle of it RUINED it. Thumbs DOWN.

33:48 - 35:37 Uh . . .

Weird/skewed aspect ratio

It's to bad Consequences couldn't of just been a 10cc album.

Its like the original 10cc 4 suffered more than most from the way the music industry is a disruptive business that attempts to reconfigure itself every 5 years. This would suit godley & creme once it was clear that concept albums were going out. In truth Roland had already killed Gizmo before it was even on sale, but these things were not that obvious at the time & the need to fufill ambition is strong. Gizmo was a brilliant but massive distraction with a lot of pressure on it. Then there had been the King thing earlier, and all on top of the way a bond between the two pairs of musicians was only semi strong from the outset. 10cc were going to hit a musical crossroads in any case as things changed with the decade. In that way Genesis were one of the bands that were well ahead of such shifting sands, & in reality it was godley & creme that were the better equipped for change. But with a concept album ( consequences of which is a gem ) but was also in contradiction to them. They had the degree of freedom to progress, but were working in a genre that no longer was. Thus add a gadget to this & it just seems to have opened up what was always an existing seam from the start. Once G&C had found the way forward it was the type of progress that worked. By then the 80's had moved the goal posts so that latter 10cc were not comfortable in their own skin. If Lol & Kevin had one major advantage it would be that they were not bound tight to the 70's sound & felt comfortable just about anywhere the experimental stream of consciousness zoning in took them. Eric & Graham seemed much more restricted therefore confused by the 80's & the zone seemed to lead them back there. That could have resulted in more great songs, but the 80's would not let bands do the 70's anymore as everyone found out. The problem is once a decade is gone its gone & with 10cc being a pop based rock band there is a lot of rigidity concerning what sells set by the fashions. Really 10cc had a 1972 - 1978 degree of freedom if the 4 were going to stay together & make albums like sheet music et al. That G&C were already getting ratty with HDY was probably ill founded as they are doing it for the sake of two projects which they could not see had no future at the time. However sadly for 10cc there was also something right about being steps ahead of change so G&C were right in tha respect. The aforementioned ability by G&C to feel just as much in the zone for any sound seems to be key there. Experimentation ( the phenomenon of ) loses its definition if anything places a bias on it. Eric & Graham might have unintentionally done this by bing less able to zone into the 80's change ( which had started happening in the mid 70's quite counter intuitively ). But still G&C might have disrupted 10cc too early about it. And it always felt like 10cc were only ever burdened with management that absolutely stank. Otherwise 10cc might well have worked it out together & found a better way. IF they could have it would have made zero difference the way G&C were perceiving a separate urge to move forward & this might have provided time for eric & graham to catch up and get into another zone on things. To compose music that is different from, but no better than before yes. That was what was on offer from 75 - on along with a kind of sociological pressure to just give it up and pack it in because the future was new wave etc. Though a lot of bands held their nerve & made the best 70's records ever whilst having to endure ad hominem militant level criticism. Unfortunately its as though 10cc in particular found it hard to concentrate & agree on what makes the right stream of consciousness by that stage. More or less a metaphysical disagreement where some were now zoning Y sounds whilst others were still coming up with X that could have been less divisive, if it had taken place in 1979.

28:25

Donna and Johnny Don't Do It sound like Neil Sedaka had a little too much influence.

Who the heck did the cc on this? They should be fired.

WTFG?!
