Crime Of The Century - 180 Gram Abbey Road Half Speed Master Edition - Sealed

SUPERTRAMP Crime Of The Century (50th Anniversary Edition 2025 UK/EU 8-track LP pressed on 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl, Half Speed Mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, London, with oversight from the band and original co-producer Ken Scott. Originally released in 1974, Crime Of The Century was Supertramp's era-defining third album, the record that propelled them onto the world stage. Breaking into the UK Top 5 and the Billboard Top 40 for the first time, it established their distinctive blend of progressive rock ambition and radio-friendly hooks. With its atmospheric production, introspective lyrics, and timeless tracks such as School, Dreamer, and the epic title song, Crime Of The Century remains the band's breakthrough classic - a foundation stone for the sophisticated pop-rock they would continue to refine across the following decade. This 50th Anniversary edition delivers enhanced dynamics, clarity, and detail for the ultimate listening experience. Picture sleeve with original cover artwork, hype sticker & factory sealed.

Tracklisting & More Information

Featuring the cream of Rick Davies’ and Roger Hodgson’s songwriting, Crime Of The Century was the first of the many peaks in Supertramp’s illustrious career; an album that had everything to prove, full of tunes that effortlessly straddled the world of pure pop and progressive rock. The LP eventually peaked at Number 4 on the UK charts and saw the band for the first time on the US Top 40. It was the music and the album’s cinematic sonic qualities that accounted for its impact.

Crime Of The Century is not only one of Supertramp’s greatest works, but one of the most highly regarded recordings of 70s rock music. Released in 1974, it put the band on the map after three years of struggle. With the unmistakable blend of the two songwriters – Davies and Hodgson’s – work, it married the sweetness of Hodgson’s ‘Dreamer’ – the band's first big hit single – with the grit of Davies’ similarly beloved ‘Bloody Well Right.’ In ‘School,’ ‘Rudy’ and the title track, the band – Davies, Hodgson, John Helliwell, Bob Siebenberg, and Dougie Thomson – helped define what would soon be known as ‘Adult Oriented Rock.’ This was – and is – not just an album that showed Supertramp's increased maturity, but a timeless gem, crammed with incredible melodies and thoughtful lyrics.
