"Greatest Hits ... And More" is the name of a 2006 compilation of songs by English pop group 10cc as well as pre-10cc and post-10cc work by its founding members, Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart and Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, performing as Godley & Creme. The album was released as a double CD.

The album attracted criticism both from fans who complained about one track, "Feel the Benefit", running at a slow speed [ [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Greatest-Hits-More-10cc/dp/B000JCES9S User reviews at Amazon.co.uk] ] [ [http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000JCES9S/ User reviews at Amazon.com] ] and from Eric Stewart, who noted his post-10cc work had been overlooked, while a disproportionate number of tracks representing Gouldman's career before and after 10cc had been included.

Stewart commented: "Some fans seem to think that I may have vetoed the use of my own songs on the album, especially as Kevin and Graham have two new songs on there, but this definitely isn't the case. Lol and I were simply not consulted by Universal about the content of the release and didn't know anything until the advertising appeared. It does appear that the compilation has been hijacked, the number of Gouldman songs being completely disproportionate. Why no Frabjoy and the Runcible Spoon etc etc? Anyone initially reading the track list could be forgiven for thinking that it should really have been called "A History of Graham Gouldman's Musical Associations"!"

Stewart reproduced correspondence from Universal Music which indicated Harvey Lisberg, the former 10cc manager and long-time Gouldman manager, had had a significant role in the album's track selection and added: "I am very shocked and sad that this has happened, but again, like the recent tours, you will have to make up your own minds whether this album represents a real 10cc compilation or not."
