''The Original Soundtrack'' is the third studio album by the English art rock band 10cc. It was released in 1975 and peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart. ''The Original Soundtrack'' includes the singles "Life Is a Minestrone" and "I'm Not in Love", the latter of which is the band's most popular song. The album was recorded and produced by the band at Strawberry Studios in 1974 with Eric Stewart engineering and mixing. The album received good reviews when originally released on LP and cassette by Mercury Records in March 1975. The album has since been reissued on several occasions with bonus tracks and has been remastered. The artwork was designed by Hipgnosis and illustrated by artist Humphrey Ocean. ==Background== The album was the first to be released by Mercury Records after signing the band for $1 million in February 1975. The catalyst for the deal was the fact the record executives had heard one song – "I'm Not in Love". Eric Stewart recalled: The rest of the album, which was already complete, was released just weeks later. The album's opening track, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme's "Une Nuit A Paris", is an nine-minute, multi-part "mini-operetta". Its melody can also be heard in the overture to Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical ''The Phantom of the Opera''. The album's most famous song, "I'm Not in Love", was built around a simple title by Stewart. The song is noted for its innovative production, especially its richly overdubbed choral backing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Original Soundtrack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
