10cc: We're The Missionaries
Harry Doherty, Melody Maker, 20 September 1975

In the circumstances, it was beyond comprehension how Lol Creme could present a gleaming countenance until it became clear that "the only Jewish missionaries in the world" are at it again. Another masterpiece is being conceived by 10cc.
