Eric Stewart / 10cc: Anthology – 2CD Edition
10CC

Eric Stewart is most known for his tenure with The Mindbenders in the 1960s, and 10cc
from 1972 to 1995.

In 1968, he became a co-owner of Strawberry Studios in Stockport, where he developed skills as a recording engineer and record producer. His involvement in Strawberry was instrumental in the eventual formation of 10cc.

Stewart has collaborated with Paul McCartney on three of his albums recorded between 1982 and 1986. He has also recorded three solo albums and released ‘Viva La Difference’ in 2009.

This 2CD compilation brings together tracks from all his solo albums and some tracks from his period in 10cc for the first time. Compiled and co-mastered by Eric, these two discs showcase the talents of one of the UK’s best producers and writers. Some of these tracks are available on CD for the first time.

The set contains a new essay on the albums by MOJO’s Daryl Easlea who has spoken at length to Eric about these records.
