100cc, also known as 100cc - Greatest Hits of 10cc is a compilation album by the English rock band 10cc.

Contents

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.

The UK edition of the compilation contains a selection of singles on the first side, while the second side contains all of the non-album b-sides from the first two albums' singles.

Around the same time "Waterfall" b/w "4% of Something" was released as a single by UK Records. [6]
