Promising first album form 10cc(as Hotlegs) / 4
Hotlegs is the earlier incarnation of 10cc. The album features Lol Creme, Eric Stewart & Kevin Godley and the hit single "Neanderthal Man". While the album flopped(and in the process allowing for the creation of and fresh start for 10cc), it nonetheless has a number of promising moments that would point to the sucess of future 10cc albums.Lacking the input of Gouldman(who was in America writing schlock pop for the "founders" and creators of "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy"--the Spice girls of their day), the band also lacked some of the songwriting polish that would be an earmarker of the great 10cc albums. The production is superb. Stewart's fingerprints are all over the production & engineering of this album. "How many times", the great "Um wah, um woh" and "Fly away" all are strong enough to have been considered for the first offical 10cc album. "Suite F.A." points to the mini rock operas Godley & Creme would attempt on 10CC'S THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK and SHEET MUSIC. Although not as good as the best even early 10cc, this album paved the way and has all the touches of later 10cc albums. In some respects, I guess, you could call this album 7cc. Well worth owning, although probably not for the casual first time fan.
Song "Take Me Back"
I shoulda seen it coming
I shoulda seen the signs
Didn't really think that she needs me
Must've 'bin blind
She didn't give me a warning
Said I shouldn't treat you wrong
But when I woke up this mornin'
She was gone gone gone
She said...
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'll change my ways
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'm not the same
She didn't tell me about it
Am I supposed to read your mind
You make me get up and shout it
It's a crime crime crime
I shoulda seen it coming
I shoulda seen the signs
Didn't really think that she needs me
Must've 'bin blind
She said...
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'll change my ways
Take me back won't ya
Take me back won't ya
I'm not the same
Won't ya take me back
Won't ya take me back
