Sheet Music is the second album by Manchester rock band 10cc. It was released in 1974 and yielded the hit singles "The Wall Street Shuffle" and "Silly Love". The album reached No.9 in the UK and No.81 in the United States.
In a 2006 interview ex-drummer Kevin Godley nominated Sheet Music as his favourite 10cc album to record. He said: "We’d really started to explode creatively and didn’t recognize any boundaries. We were buzzing on each other and exploring our joint and individual capabilities. Lots of excitement and energy at those sessions and, more importantly, an innocence that was open to anything."[1]
Graham Gouldman has also expressed that he considers Sheet Music as the best 10cc album. In the 10ccworld website he writes: "Our best album, epitomizing what 10cc was all about. Unique songwriting and production."
