Art rock duo Godley & Creme, better known as the Kevin Godley and Lol Creme half of Manchester pop prog quartet 10cc, are to release an 11-disc career-spanning box set.
Parts Of The Process – The Complete Godley & Creme, which is released through Edsel Records on February 28, collects all seven studio albums the duo recorded between 1977 and 1988.
The collection features a 28-page book with a 10,000 word essay by Liam Newton, author of 10cc: The Worst Band In The World.
Of particular interest to fans will be the inclusion of their debut release, 1977's Consequences. The ambitious triple album, which cost almost £2 million to make in today's money, featured comedian Peter Cook and jazz singer Sarah Vaughn, and was greeted by bafflement. It was not a success, but has now been recognised as a latter-day prog classic and is highly sought after in its original packaging. The album is currently unavailable on streaming services.
The duo, who never fell out but went their separate ways in 1988, were almost as famous for their music videos, directing some of the most groundbreaking music promos of the 80s including Yes's Leave It, Herbie Hancock's Rockit, Two Tribes (Frankie Goes To Hollywood), View To A Kill (Duran Duran), Everybody Have Fun Tonight (Wang Chung) and more.
Parts Of The Process - The Complete Godley & Creme also features two bonus discs, one featuring a selection of non-album tracks and 7" single versions, the other extended mixes. The full tracklisting and artwork is below.
