Strawberry Bubblegum: A Collection of Pre-10CC Strawberry Studio Recordings 1969–1972 is a compilation of songs recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport, England, by the four musicians – Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme – who in 1972 would form the British pop band 10cc, along with occasional guest vocalists.

Contents

Most of these songs were done for the American bubblegum production team of Super K Productions, by whom Gouldman was employed as a writer during this time, but others were recorded with friends (such as Gouldman's former bandmate Peter Cowap) or as potential novelty hits (following the foursome's success as Hotlegs with "Neanderthal Man").
