Changing Faces – The Very Best of 10cc and Godley & Creme is a compilation album that included the hits of 10cc and Godley & Creme, the first album to include both bands.

Release and reception

The album featured 16 tracks including a newly remixed version of "Snack Attack" by Godley & Creme, that originally featured on their 1981 album Ismism. The track was also issued as a single with an edit of "Wet Rubber Soup" from The History Mix Volume 1 (1985) on the B-side. The single failed to chart.

The album was very successful in the UK reaching No.4 and achieving platinum status for selling over 300,000 copies. It was also the catalyst to Polydor conducting market research to see if the public would welcome a new album from the band which eventually resulted in ...Meanwhile (1992).

The cover

The cover featured a composite of all the band's faces placed on top of each other - a reference to the famous morphing video for Godley & Creme's "Cry" single from 1985.
