Changing Faces – The Very Best of 10cc and Godley & Creme is a compilation album that included the hits of 10cc and Godley & Creme, the first album to include both bands.
Release and reception
The album featured 16 tracks including a newly remixed version of "Snack Attack" by Godley & Creme, that originally featured on their 1981 album Ismism. The track was also issued as a single with an edit of "Wet Rubber Soup" from The History Mix Volume 1 (1985) on the B-side. The single failed to chart.
The album was very successful in the UK reaching No.4[2] and achieving platinum status for selling over 300,000 copies.[3] It was also the catalyst to Polydor conducting market research to see if the public would welcome a new album from the band which eventually resulted in ...Meanwhile (1992).
The cover
The cover featured a composite of all the band's faces placed on top of each other - a reference to the famous morphing video for Godley & Creme's "Cry" single from 1985.
