...Meanwhile is the tenth studio album by British rock band 10cc. It was recorded at Bearsville Studios in , New York, The Hit Factory, New York, River Sound Studios, New York, Bill Schnee Studio, Los Angeles and Village Recorders, Los Angeles and released in 1992.
The album was the band's first in nine years and marked the brief comeback of original 10cc members Kevin Godley and Lol Creme: Godley performed lead vocals on "The Stars Didn't Show" and backing vocals on two songs, while Creme supplied backing vocals on six songs. It also featured appearances by singer Andrew Gold, blues pianist Dr. John and accomplished session musicians including Michael Landau and Jeff Porcaro, who were hired by Katz.
The album's closing song, "Don't Break the Promises", was co-written with Paul McCartney.
In a 1992 radio interviewGraham Gouldman revealed the background to their reunion: "A couple of years ago, an album came out called Changing Faces – The Very Best of 10cc and Godley & Creme. That did really well and we all met up again for a lunch. It was to be presented with these fabulous platinum discs. Also round that time our record company made us a very nice offer that we couldn't really refuse, and the fact that we'd all come together again ... we'd sort of resisted working together again and it seemed like a nice thing to do."
But five years later he expressed some disappointment with the finished product. He said they had entered the studio with a stockpile of 22 songs. "We had some good songs," he said, "so we felt confident that we could still do it. Polydor were pleased with the demos, and so we did the album. But then we got to the studio, and we had problems with our producer. There wasn’t always harmony and I think it created it a very one dimensional album. It’s also got this darkness to it that I don’t like. Some of the songs, particularly 'Welcome to Paradise', which were brilliant when you hear the demos, didn’t translate into the studio."
