They’re playing in the Netherlands later this month. I mean it’s essentially a Gouldman ‘here’s another one I wrote’ show but play all the 10cc hits including the ones he didn’t write. Saw them a couple of years back and it was a great show.

The one time, the ONLY time, I was properly ahead of the curve was when I bought the previous release of West End Girls that notably failed to trouble the chart compilers.

Don't have them but know exactly where the back numbers live in the British Library. Can take a snap next time I'm there if that helps?
