5.0 out of 5 stars Quality songs regardless of fashion or trends, 26 Oct 2005
Supertramp rarely get the credit that they deserve. But listening to this anthology you realise just what a great band they were and how they transcend the need to be cool or fashionable. 'Dreamer', 'The Logical Song', 'Give a Little Bit' are all perfectly formed pop songs, but they are only part of the story of a band who did their own thing and, with the cyclical nature of the publics tastes, I'm hoping their time will come again, and a few more people will admit that they made a fantastic contribution to music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super, 25 Nov 2005
By A.lan Stevens "MediaCoach" (LONDON United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Supertramp have never left the playlists on some US FM stations, and if you listen to this collection, it's easy to understand why. Like Steely Dan, they combine intelligent lyrics with excellent musicianship, and merit repeated listenings. They haven't always received critical acclaim, but hopefully this re-release, which includes all their greatest songs, will put that right. The critics aren't often right anyway. Take a listen and make your own mind up.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Whole Supertramp Story, 11 Jun 2006
By gnagfloW (Rosa Barks) - See all my reviews
The way Supertramp has been depicted in recent years gives an indication that they were some sort of embarrassment in pop music history. Case in point is Homer Simpson's affection of the group. This compilation proves that though Supertramp did have some art-rock tendencies, they produced some great tunes.

This compilation is very complete; basically anything Supertramp did of any worth, with the possible exception of Hide in Your Shell, is here. Personally I would have preferred the live version of Dreamer that became a hit in the US, but overall, the song selection is perfect. The six tunes from Breakfast in America are for example the obvious choices from that album.

The music is, well, mostly good in mine opinion. There are a few tracks I don't care that much about, especially post It's Raining Again. I did, however, re-discover some ones again. Special mention goes to Take the Long Way Home, with its majestic opening and incredible harmonies. The craft of the production is faultless, these guys and the studio were a match made in heaven. Most music produced today, 30 years later, lacks the great production in most aspects as Supertramp did in their heyday. Despite being studio wizards, the creative aspect of making music enjoyable was yet in place. Listen to Goodbye Stranger, with the organ intro, the drums added and the snapping sound into the second verse. Give a Little Bit on the other hand is pure bright guitars driving the song.

I have another Supertramp collection called Classics - 25th A&M Anniversary. That compilation has some edited tracks which appear here in their full length editions. The sound quality is also vastly better on this new compilation, as if a carpet was put over the speaker whilst listening to the old version. The inner booklet is also fine on this compilation which can't be said about the Classics compilation.

To sum it up, this is a fantastic compilation and although some tracks are not my cup of tea, they all deserve being included on a Supertramp anthology. The sound re-mastering is great with full length tracks. This is the one CD for most Supertramp fans, excluding the most hard core ones, to buy.
