100cc, also known as 100cc - Greatest Hits of 10cc is a compilation album by the English rock band 10cc.. It was released in 1975 [3] [4] [5] by UK Records, the band's original label, to capitalize on the then 10cc's recent departure to Mercury Records and band's success in the immediate aftermath of the release of their third album, The Original Soundtrack, and the "I'm Not in Love" single.
