Deceptive Bends" — пятый студийный альбом группы 10cc, вышедший в 1977 году, и первый, выпущенный группой после ухода двух основателей, Кевина Годли и Лола Крима. Первый сингл с альбома, "The Things We Do for Love", достиг шестого места в британском чарте, второго в Ирландии и первого места в Канаде.

Великолепный пятый альбом легендарной группы в потрясающем аудифильском звучании (  high-fidelity SHM-CD format - играет на всех CD-плеерах!) на японском CD c 3-мя бонусными треками! Содержит тексты песен и описание! Обложка идентично воспроизводит оригинал первого английского издания альбома, а мастеринг выполнен звукоинженерами студии Mercury в 2006 году.

Свой первый альбом в новом формате 10cc записали в новой студии Strawberry South (Доркинг, Суррей). Deceptive Bends (1977), озаглавленный в честь дорожного знака на одном из участков шоссе в графстве Суррей, поднялся до #3 в Британии (#31 в США). Из него вышли три сингла: «The Things We Do For Love» (UK #6, US #5), «Good Morning Judge» (UK #5, US #69) и «People In Love» (US #40). «Для меня было главным доказать, что мы способны написать хит без Кевина и Лола… и мы это сделали!» — позже говорил Стюарт.
Deceptive Bends is the fifth studio album released in 1977 by rock band 10cc.
The departure of Kevin Godley and Lol Creme in 1976 to form Godley & Creme almost ended 10cc. However Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman kept the group alive as a duo (with the assistance of percussionist Paul Burgess). The cover design was provided by Hipgnosis. The name of the album came from a warning sign for dangerous curves on the southbound A24 between Leatherhead and Dorking in Surrey; the sign is no longer there.

10cc:
Eric Stewart – lead and rhythm guitars, lead and backing vocals, keyboards, percussion
Graham Gouldman – bass guitar, backing and lead vocals, rhythm guitars, organ, percussion, autoharp

10cc — британская группа, образованная в 1972 году в Стокпорте, Англия, и исполнявшая софт-арт-поп-рок с остроумными, ироничными текстами. Квартет манчестерских музыкантов — Грэм Гоулдман, Эрик Стюарт, Кевин Годли и Лол Крим выступал и записывался в течение трёх лет под названием Hotlegs, прежде чем переименовался в 10cc.
