Eric Stewart / 10cc: Anthology – 2CD set

Cherry Red will issue a new Eric Stewart/10cc Anthology next month.

This is a two-CD set and it brings together tracks from all four of his solo albums and some tracks from his period in 10cc, including Yvonne’s The One from the last 10cc album, Mirror Mirror. That track was written with Paul McCartney during the sessions for Macca’s Press To Play album, although the song was never released by Paul, so Eric put out his own version (Macca’s Pretty Little Head is included on the forthcoming 10cc box set for the same reason).

The tracks on this Anthology are spread around both discs in curious fashion, although eight tracks from Stewart’s last studio album (2009’s Viva La Difference) are grouped together on the second CD, albeit in a different order than presented on the album.

This set has been compiled and co-mastered by Eric, and the label claim that some of these tracks are available on CD for the first time. Anthology also benefits from a new essay on the albums by Daryl Easlea, who has spoken at length to Eric about these records.

Anthology is released on 21 July 2017. Cherry Red are selling 50 signed copies and appear to still have some left (at the time of writing).
