Product Description

CD Description

Though Supertramp eventually broke through in the US as radio-friendly pop-rockers, they started out in the prog-rock mode, turning out lengthy songs full of fanciful instrumentalinterludes. Even at their proggiest, though, they always interjected a discernible Beatlesque pop sensibility that keptthem well away from the excesses often associated with progrock. THE VERY BEST OF SUPERTRAMP offers a handy career overview of the band's stylistic evolution. "Crime of the Century" shows the group at its most expansive and conceptual, but the bulk of this collection is in fact occupied by concise, well-crafted tunes full of infectious melodies, propulsivekeyboards, and the tasty interjections of John Anthony Helliwell's saxophone. By the time they'd gotten around to their1980s hit "It's Raining Again", Supertramp had fully transformed into a straight-ahead pop group, their McCartney-like tendencies coming fully to the fore. For most former art-rockers, this might have been a woeful development, but in the case of the already-popwise Supertramp, it was a blessing, making this anthology a pleasure all the way down the line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supertramp's unabridged autobiography, 24 Jan 2004

By	Touring Mars (London, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

Basically the same as "The Autobiography of Supertramp", there are two major differences. The first is the inclusion of 'School' (from 1974's 'Crime Of The Century'), and the other is that 'Goodbye Stranger' and 'The Logical Song' are here in there complete forms rather than in shortened form, which is a real improvement.

This is really essential Supertramp, since 'The Very Best of...Vol. 2' is almost by definition a misnomer. The 'very best' tracks are right here. As such, it's not a definitive retrospective. Infact, you'd be forgiven for thinking that 1974 was the first time Supertramp ever recorded anything, as there is nothing here from their first two albums. There are 5 of the 7 tracks that constitute the album 'Crime of the Century', rendering that album almost (but not completely) obsolete. Also, 1979's 'Breakfast In America' is well covered here, with 4 songs. The best two tracks from 'Even In The Quietest Moments' are here too, and that's nearly it. The later albums of 'Famous Last Words' and 'Brother, Where You Bound' (minus Hodgson by this stage) are scarcely touched upon, as is 'Crisis? What Crisis?', which is largely overlooked. All in all though, this compilation is a great way to get to know and love Supertramp. On the strength of the singles alone ('Logical Song', 'Breakfast in America', 'Dreamer' and 'Give A Little Bit'), it's worth the cover charge. But the inclusion of some really big hitting album tracks, like the stunning 'Hide In Your Shell' (from 'Crime..') and 'From Now On' (from 'Even In The Quietest Moments') encourage you to explore the Supertramp back catalogue in more depth. Possibly with the exception of 'Cannonball', there isn't a bad song on the album, and there is plenty to get your teeth into.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Supertramp Fan /Music Lovers Must !!, 20 Jul 2002

By	Kevin van Soest (Kapiti Coast, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

If you have no Supertramp cds this is a crime on it's own,but even if you have a few of their albums and you thought you were covered think again.This compilation is without a doubt the cream of their totally underrated career and is testimony to their innovation and high standard of recording and production.Supertramp fall into that exclusive club where high quality recordings and innovation(which the British do so well) stand tall above tied churned out rock songs which are soon forgotten.Digitally remastered to enhance and bring out the best of their top work, this album should be listened to at high volumes.Every self respecting rock lover should have this album.
