The making of 10cc's "I'm not in love"

[Ron Obvious]

Always liked this song, though it's taken some years to re-appreciate it.

1. Used to play that on my radio show

Back in the late '70s I had a show on the college station at about 10 pm. I'd play that song frequently and every once and a bit someone would call in to know "what's that crap". When I'd tell them it was 10cc, they'd usually tell me I was full of it.

3. That song was released just as I started working weekends at a local FM in the Spring of 1975.

I hated that song. I used to amuse myself by asking the listeners if they knew where the name 10CC came from.

4. Ooh! I know: same as the Loving Spoonful.

I think the song suffered from overexposure.

5. Brick in the Wall

Perfectly fine song. But when you are a DJ, and every third caller requests the darn thing, you can get sick of it REAL fast.

2. I love the engineering that went into this one.

Really creative, considering the technological limitations back then.

These days you could sample all the voices and control them via software automation... It would take minutes to do versus the hours this took.
Such dedication and patience to be an engineer in the days of tape.
