Performer Notes - Supertramp: Roger Hodgson (vocals, guitar, piano); John Anthony Helliwell (vocals, saxophone, clarinet); Richard Davies (vocals, harmonica, keyboards); Dougie Thomson (bass); Bob C. Benberg (drums, percussion).
- Producers: Ken Scott, Supertramp.
- Reissue producer: Beth Stempel.
- Recorded at Trident, Ramport Studios and Scorpion Sound, London, England between February & June 1974.
- All tracks have been digitally remastered.
- The punishment befits the crime, and a quarter of a century later, Supertramp have been forgiven by critics. Quite why they induced such negative press seems unjustified, as 'Bloody Well Right' and 'Dreamer' sound as fresh as ever. The electric piano cuts through the speakers like a knife through butter, the treble at times hurting the ear like a heavy rock guitar solo. Both Hodgson's and Davies' voices sound rich and confident, although both are quite different. Maybe the pace slackens with the slightly indulgent 'If Everyone Was Listening' and the title track, but there are enough musical highlights to recommend this for any would-be '90s progster's wants list.

Crime of the Century is my favourite Supertramp album and if you only wanted one Supertramp album this is the one to get. The subsequent albums Crisis, what Crisis?, Even in the Quietest Moments and Breakfast in America are all worthy offerings too. Later albums are disappointing, particularly after the departure of Hodgson.

After the less original 'Supertramp' and 'Indelibly Stamped' albums, COTC represented the breakthrough for Supertramp into a more successful music sectar. They had found their style, and this concept album is an absolute masterpiece.
My favourite songs are 'School,' 'Asylum,' and 'Crime of the Century.' Progressive, but not as in Yes or Genesis, but more of an 'arty' approach, and a real showing off of immense songwriting and musically talent.
I recommend this as a first stop for new fans or those beginning their interest in Supertramp. More established fans will most probably have heard this album well already, as, in my opinion it forms the base of the beautifully masterpieces that followed.
Bring back Hodgson I say. Together, Davies and Hodgson has something really special.

Many of Supertramp's classics such as 'Dreamer" and "School." These tracks are also excellent as benchmark tests for your sound system. Listen to the bass on the latter track. You will see what I mean. If you like Supertramp, this is one of their best!
