Food for thought - 10CC

The 1983 10CC album was mostly a product of Eric Stewart, as Graham Gouldman only performed partial lead vocals on one song. The album featured a lot of session musicians and Stewart later reflected that the original idea of a concept album was not realised. 'I longed to be like Pink Floyd and just go for large musical statements like 'One night in Paris' and 'Feel the benefit', but we were locked onto the singles roundabout, the 'quick buck', and it was impossible to break free at the time.'

Two singles were taken from the album, '24 hours' and 'Feel the love', but in Holland, a third single was released: 'Food for thought'. It was reasonably successful too, reaching number 21 in the Dutch Top 40.

My collection: 7" single no. 428
Found: Parkpop, Den Haag, June 29, 1986
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'Food for thought' / 'The secret life of Henry'
