ちょっと説明 ●1976年秋、ゴドレー＆クリームが10cc脱退。名前を引き継いだエリックとグレアムがデュオ体制で作ったアルバム。楽器も、パーカッションを除いて、ほとんど２人でこなした。パーカッションは、ツアーのサポート・メンバーだった「５番目の男」ポール・バージェス。（ポールは全曲参加しているので、トリオ体制と行っても間違いではない）。 ●オープニング「グッド・モーニング・ジャッジ」の凝った曲作りで、10ccのイメージを残しながらも、曲が進むにつれてエリック＆グレアム組のポップさが前面に出てくる作品。以前のサウンドに比べて、シンプルでストレート。だが出来は決して悪くない。 ●「愛ゆえに」が、日本で初めてヒット。シリア・ポールのＦＭ「ポップス・ベスト10などでもトップ10に。やっと一般的にも認知される。「愛ゆえに」は、全米チャート５位を記録。 （1998/09/28)

アルバム未収録曲：３曲／すべてシングルＢ面(上の表、黄色文字参照) 10ccのアルバムの中で、唯一エディット違いが見つかっていないアルバム。デュオ体制になって、それどころじゃなかったんだろう（曲も短いし）。それでも、おなじみ「シングルＢ」は３曲もあるんだから、ご立派と申し上げたい。 日本盤では、「グッド・モーニング・ジャッジ」のＢ面に「アイム・ノット・イン・ラブ」がカップリングされてしまったため、次が「恋人たちのこと/ドント・スクイーズ・ミー」に。 「アイム・ソー・レイド・バック〜」は、「グレート・ボックス」まで本邦未発売だった。 (*)初出シングル時の題名は「ドンド・スクイーズ・ミー」 (2002/10/22修正)
