The remaining track performed at the Don Kirschner concert in 1974 posted on behalf of R, D, V and A. Again, thanks to Kazuhiko in Japan for the footage.
Sand In My Face - 110cc [Stockport, England] - 1973 - "AMG Pick. All four members sing lead and are talented songwriters, and this leads to a wide variety of styles that add to their vision. Nice Proto-New Wave song by a few years. A kind poke at the pretensions of bands/people at this time." - The Best Of The Early Years [Import UK] (Demon Music Group Ltd)-2002. NOTE: The above CD is very good. Check it out!
What a song! One of the best off the 1st LP. I wonder if anybody today knows what Dynamic Tension means. And if they don't, how do they understand this song? Writing topical songs has its drawback - in 20 years nobody knows what you're talking about. But Kevin's singing is worth it all.
I now think youtube (at one point or another) has featured at least one version of every song the original 10cc (1972-1976) performed or lipsynched for the camera. Am I missing any? Sand in my Face, Donna, The Dean and I, Headline Hustler, Rubber Bullets, Fresh Air for My Mama, Wall Street Shuffle, Worst Band in the World, Old Wild Men, Silly Love, Baron Samedi, Oh Effendi, I'm Not in Love, Life is a Minestrone, I'm Mandy Fly Me, Art for Art's Sake, Head Room, and Don't Hang Up.
" Sand In My Face " Another Example Of " The Genius Of 10cc " !! The Bands Brilliance Will I'm Sure Prevent Them From Ever Ending Up With " Egg On There Faces " !!! From Adrian Browne 1965
