10cc / The Stockport Shuffle: The Complete UK Label Anthology

First two albums, massively expanded

10cc’s first two albums are explored on The Stockport Shuffle, a forthcoming 6CD+blu-ray box set.

Both the 1973 debut, 10cc, and its 1974 follow up Sheet Music were issued on Jonathan King’s UK label with the former featuring ‘Donna’ and the UK chart-topping ‘Rubber Bullets’. This new box set is being promoted as ‘The Complete UK Label Anthology’ (since the band moved to Mercury for 1975’s The Original Soundtrack).

Newly mastered versions of both records feature in the box set alongside various single versions and edits. Two CDs are devoted to session highlights from each album, including isolated vocal tracks, work-in-progress, instrumentals, rehearsals and more.

The blu-ray offers TV performances and Dolby Atmos Mixes, although with the Atmos Mixes it’s a curious selection and there’s no confirmation if the blu-ray also includes 5.1 and hi-res stereo (the latter seems reasonably likely). This set comes with a 40-page booklet with a new 7,000 word essay on the band’s time at UK Records.

The Stockport Shuffle: The Complete UK Label Anthology 1972-1974 will be released on 20 November 2026 via Cherry Red imprint, Grapefruit.
