You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think of It
# You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think of It

You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think of It is a compilation album by British pop group Hotlegs.

## Overview

The album was released in 1976 after Hotlegs, a three-piece band from Stockport, near Manchester, had added a fourth member, Graham Gouldman, changed its name and achieved international chart success as 10cc.

The album was a revised version of Hotlegs' debut album, Thinks: School Stinks, which added "Neanderthal Man"'s B-side "You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think of It" (after which the album was titled), the single "Lady Sadie" along with its B-side "The Loser" and Song's repackaging exclusive "Today".

The album cover featured a drawing of the band by Godley and Creme.

### 2012 reissue

The album was reissued on Grapefruit Records, a division of Cherry Red, in October 2012. Remastered by Paschal Byrne, this version included Thinks: School Stinks (1970) album as originally sequenced with the tracks that were substituted/added for You Didn't Like It Because You Didn't Think of It at the end of the CD including the slightly different alternate U.S. single mix of "Neanderthal Man". The resulting release put together all of the tracks released under Hotlegs' name.

This new edition also featured new artwork commissioned especially for this release.
