Strawberry Bubblegum

Strawberry Bubblegum is an album subtitled "A Collection of Pre-10cc Strawberry Studios Recordings 1969-1972". The album is a compilation of songs recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport, England, by the four musicians – Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme – who in 1972 would form the British pop band 10cc, along with occasional guest vocalists.

Most of these songs were done for the American bubblegum production team of Super K Productions, by whom Gouldman was employed as a writer during this time, but others were recorded with friends (such as Gouldman's former bandmate Peter Cowap) or as potential novelty hits (following the foursome's success as Hotlegs with "Neanderthal Man").
