(Glass Onion) 10cc/Godley & Creme legends Kevin Godley and Graham Gouldman, under the guise of GG06, have recorded and released their sixth new track �Barry's Shoes� now available for download from the duo's official website www.gg06.co.uk.

In 2006, for the first time in over three decades original 10cc members Godley and Gouldman reunited to record new music. Best known for such classic 10cc hits as "Rubber Bullets", "I'm Not In Love" and "Things We Do For Love", as well as Godley and Creme's mega-hit "Cry", last year Godley and Gouldman recorded five new download-only songs which have garnered rave reviews from fans and critics alike worldwide!

Kevin Godley, former half of the pioneering duo Godley and Creme, who has also directed and produced some of the most successful music videos in rock and roll for such artists as Duran Duran, U2, Peter Gabriel, Herbie Hancock, Rod Stewart, Keane, Paul McCartney and The Police to name just a few, graces all six tracks with his tremendous voice - arguably one of the great vocalists in music today. "I always figured Kevin had the best voice in the band", complements Gouldman, "ironic that he never sang lead on a 10cc single� Even I managed that. Now justice has been done. Kevin's voice and razor sharp lyrics take us places we haven't visited before� Always a good place to start!"

Graham Gouldman, a prolific songwriter since 1965 before joining 10cc penned such classic songs as "For Your Love", "Heart Full Of Soul" and "Evil Hearted You" for The Yardbirds, as well as "Look Through Any Window" and "Bus Stop" for The Hollies and "No Milk Today", "Listen People" and "East West" for Herman's Hermits. He has also worked with the likes of Andrew Gold and The Ramones."It was exhilarating to hear a haunting Graham Gouldman chord sequence", says Godley about their recent collaboration, "wrap some words around it and feel something actually come to life, in real time, again. These first five tracks are pretty lean by our previous standards. They're more heartfelt, focused, less layered and lyrically they're tougher." This past summer Graham Gouldman toured Europe with his version of 10cc. To the surprise of concert attendees, Kevin Godley made a guest appearance at two UK gigs in which he sang on a couple songs.

The much anticipated new song �Barry's Shoes� is sure to please fans of GG06 with its melodic twists and turns and Godley's engrossing lyrics. And just who is Barry anyway? "Manchester 1963, Like every kid in my street I'm trapped in the synagogue slowly turning into my Father," Kevin explains, "waiting for a sign that says there's more to life than the family business. Enter Barry wearing the Devil's shoes..
