A message from Roy, Dave, Val and Ann at the Official 10cc Fan Club:
Hello `stronies everywhere,
Just a few words from the News Desk here at the10ccfanclub. com
about “Viva La Difference”, the latest album from Eric Stewart. Both
our site and Eric’s have announced the impending release but what
neither of them have said is that it is likely to be around the 10th of
January.
Stay tuned for more news on price and availability, and in due course,
we will publish a full review of “Viva” on the fan club website.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Season’s Greetings, etc, etc

This news from Stronie Kazuo in Japan:
Hi All
Today, New Japanese Reissues “Mercury – Polydor years” released,
with miniature LP paper sleeve.
Important thing, some albums are 2008 remaster,
JPN Universal found old-but-original mix tape from their warehouse.
How Dare You is not silly 2002 Polygram mix, used 1976 original mix,
with B-side song Get It While You Can,
2 single edit I’m Mandy, Art For Art’s Sake (3 bonus songs).
also OST feat 2 single mix as bonus songs.
Bloody Tourist is right speed.
Reissues are OST, HDY, DB, BT, LALL, LH, TOOT,WITJ, and MH.
HDY is worth to have, I think.
Hope this help,
Kaz
Our fellow Stronie Roy Beaufoy did a little investigation as follows:
“my very good Dutch friend Ilse and friends went to the Belgium concert [10cc] on Sunday.
The line-up did not include Rick Fenn, but instead there was a guitarist by the name of Rupert Fenn.
I have an email in to Graham asking him what is happening.”
Then he got the answer:
“Graham replied today… Rupert is Rick’s nephew. Rick lives in Australia and it’s not always convenient for him to do the gigs. So… ‘we decided to “keep it in the family” rather than not do the concert. He is excellent’.”
Oh and there are photos at http://www.decultuurconsument.be/.
Thank you much Roy!

hi all
this is an offshoot of the newly designed (and soon to be live) minestrone website.
i will try to post any news about the musicians (stewart, gouldman, godley, creme, fenn, tosh, burgess, and all others tangentially related), live performances, new material releases, etc. on this blog, instead of having to update the website.
if you have news you’d like to post here, please let me know and i will try to get it online as quick as possible or allow posts via moderation.
looking forward to sharing news about our favorite musicians!
