In the midst of the late 1970s punk/new wave revolution, England's Supertramp tore a page from the Genesis playbook, suffusing their previously overwrought prog-rock influences and bittersweet hippie optimism gone sour with muscular pop hooks. They eventually became one of the world's foremost rock acts--and later a rich source for contemporary TV commercial music. But while Supertramp peaked quickly, they nonetheless spawned at least two bona fide classic albums--Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America--and a slate of FM radio staples, all of which are included on this near 80-minute anthology. Fully three-quarters of Crime is represented, and rightly so. That 1974 album both stripped down and reinvented the band's sound, centering it around the songs of Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, pulsing electric piano chords, and distinctively reedy vocals on tense, spare songs like "Bloody Well Right" and "Dreamer." But by the time of the multiplatinum Breakfast, they had refined their edgy prog sensibility to virtual extinction with well-crafted pop hits like "The Logical Song" and "Take the Long Way Home." This well-chosen collection spans a decade, but focuses intently on the five great years that cemented Supertramp's reputation. --Jerry McCulley

 Brings back high school memories December 1, 2008

I think allot of people were in a music club in the late 70's. I ordered a 4-pack cassette of Supertramp because I had bonus points. Got the tapes and wore them out before I started college. I saw this very best of CD and had to have it in my collection. Very good AOR stuff if you are a listener. I love the disc!

Actually, I ran across my dusty "Breakfast in America" album recently. Ordered a new Grado cartridge for my Technics turntable and ripped it to MP3. But nothing beats the original analog recording with all the pops and cracks of dirty vinyl. Nothing missing from the originals....and no download or CD compares.
I LOVE WITH VINYL AGAIN!

This is my second copy of this CD. My first one is so worn out that I wanted a replacement before it gave up the ghost. My daughters, 18 and 15, enjoy Supertramp's music as much as I do.

'The Very Best of Supertramp' is by far the best Supertramp compilation on the American market. Almost identical to 'Classics, Vol. 9,' only this set features the full-length album versions, and adds my favorite song from the 'Crime of the Century' record, 'School.'
Mostly every single Supertramp hit is here. 'Give A Little Bit,' 'Take The Long Way Home,' 'Breakfast In America,' 'The Logical Song,' 'Cannonball' and 'Rudy' all appear on this set for your listening pleasure. And, A&M gets tons of credit for remastering these tracks beautifully. In translation, the sound quality is excellent!
And, album cuts like 'Crime of the Century' and 'Ain't Nobody But Me' also appear on this set.
Overall, if you buy it with 'The Very Best of Supertramp 2,' than you'll have all of Supertramp's important songs. But overall, this is highly recommended for the new or casual fan.
Highly recommended. ENJOY!!!

Diferentemente dos CDs da serie "THE SUPERTRAMP REMASTERS", essa coletanea "DIGITALLY MASTERED" nao causou tanto impacto ao ser comparada com minha versao brasileira antiga. Apresenta sensivel melhora, mas nao se compara a qualidade alcancada na remasterizacao dos outros albuns.
Melhor do que adquirir essa coletanea, e comprar cada album da serie "THE SUPERTRAMP REMASTERS".
