10CC: The Stockport Shuffle - Complete UK Label Anthology 1972 - 1974 (Box Set / 6 CD) [Blu-ray]

During their two-year stint with Jonathan King’s UK Records label, the up-and-coming pop all-rounders 10cc—all four of whom had spent many years cutting their teeth in Manchester’s music scene of the 1960s—recorded two highly acclaimed albums: “10cc” and “Sheet Music,” as well as a handful of major hit singles, including “Donna,” “The Wall Street Shuffle,” and the chart-topping “Rubber Bullets.”

These recordings have been compiled several times over the past few decades, but now, at last, the complete, previously undocumented picture can be presented. With 6 CDs and a bonus Blu-ray featuring video footage and surround-sound mixes, “The Stockport Shuffle” is nothing less than a true treasure trove of early 10cc —a meticulous, insightful exploration of the band’s activities at their Strawberry Studios in Stockport during their first two years together.

In addition to remastered versions of both albums and numerous singles, there is an overwhelming number of previously unreleased multitrack highlights (including alternative versions, arrangements, lyrics, and vocalists, as well as rough cuts, studio conversations, isolated vocal tracks, and discarded instrumental and vocal parts), BBC session recordings, and Eric Stewart’s 1974 mixes—available exclusively in mono—created for radio and television.

With a 40-page booklet featuring numerous rare photos, quotes from band members, and a new, 7,000-word essay on the band’s time at UK Records, “The Stockport Shuffle” is the definitive document of 10cc’s early years, during which they earned a reputation as the creators of some of the most astute, witty, and intelligent pop music of all time—a reputation that would prove to be enduring.

Box Set:
* Six CDs featuring a heavily expanded overview of 10cc's first two classic albums: 10cc (1973) and Sheet Music (1974).
* Bonus Blu-ray/DVD containing surround sound mixes and rare live TV performances.
* 40-page booklet with rare photos, band quotes, and a new 7,000-word essay about their time on UK Records
