Sheet Music (album)

Sheet Music is the second album by Manchester rock band 10cc. It was released in 1974 and yielded the hit singles "The Wall Street Shuffle" and "Silly Love". The album reached No.9 in the UK and No.81 in the United States.

In a 2006 interview ex-drummer Kevin Godley nominated Sheet Music as his favourite 10cc album to record. He said: "We’d really started to explode creatively and didn’t recognize any boundaries. We were buzzing on each other and exploring our joint and individual capabilities. Lots of excitement and energy at those sessions and, more importantly, an innocence that was open to anything."^[1]

One of the bridge sections of "Clockwork Creep", a song about aircraft terrorism, was re-used as the intro for the 1976 hit single "I'm Mandy Fly Me" off How Dare You!, which features an airplane crash. On that song, the section, whose lyrics go "Oh, no you'll never get me up in one of these again / 'Cause what goes up must come down", is rendered soft and tinny, as if heard playing from a portable transistor radio.
