GG/06: EP - 1 is an EP by British duo GG/06 released in 2008.
GG/06 is a collaboration between Kevin Godley and Graham Gouldman of 10cc. According to Godley the idea of working together again existed since the 1990s and was finally implemented in the mid 2000s.[1] [2] Godley explained:
The result of this collaboration was a number of tracks that were released under the name GG/06 from 2006 to 2008 mostly through the band's website with 6 tracks in total.[3] [4]
Kevin Godley described the music as darker and more adult in comparison to 10cc.[2] [5]
The song "Son of Man" samples the Hotlegs song "Neanderthal Man" and tells the story of its creation and the early days of 10cc band members.[6]
Aside from the release through the GG/06 website the songs were featured on a number of 10cc compilation albums.Two songs, "Beautifulloser.com" and "Son of Man" were released on 10cc compilation Greatest Hits ... And More in 2006.
A live version of "Beautifulloser.com" was featured on 10cc 2008 video album Clever Clogs.
"Son of Man" and "Hooligan Crane" were featured on the 2017 10cc box set Before During After – The Story of 10cc.[7]
In 2019 Kevin Godley created a video for the song "Son of Man" which was used as a stage intro on 10cc shows.[6]
All the tracks from the EP were included on the digital deluxe edition of 10cc's compilation album The Things We Do For Love: The Ultimate Hits and Beyond.[8]
