Overview Edit

Sheet Music is the second album by Manchester rock band 10cc. It was released in 1974 and yielded the hit singles "The Wall Street Shuffle" and "Silly Love". The album reached No.9 in the UK and No.81 in the United States.

In a 2006 interview ex-drummer Kevin Godley nominated Sheet Music as his favourite 10cc album to record. He said: "We’d really started to explode creatively and didn’t recognize any boundaries. We were buzzing on each other and exploring our joint and individual capabilities. Lots of excitement and energy at those sessions and, more important, an innocence that was open to anything."

Graham Gouldman has also expressed that he considers Sheet Music as the best 10cc album. In the 10ccworld website he writes: "Our best album, epitomizing what 10cc was all about. Unique songwriting and production."

Their popularity at the time was still growing after the colossal success of their first album (1973's 10CC). When I say colossal I mean this. In 10cc's career from 1973 - 1976, they were rarely out of the Top 10 charts in Europe, with quite a few No. 1's. By 1975 that success repeated in the States. They were virtually the most successful of the …

3 stars Great Album, Buggered Master
I have an earlier CD of this album, a double with "10cc" fronting "Sheet Music". I bought *this* version because the sound was simply awful on that older Sheet Music, with atrocious drop out on my two favorite tracks, "Old Wild Men" and "Somewhere in Hollywood", bad enough to make the album unbearable. It sounded to my uneducated ear like the master tape had a fold or two in it (because I've had RTR tape wind into the space between the tape and spool edges when I wound/rewound too fast, and when…
