BROKEN BARRICADES
It is hard to say that one Procol Harum album is a higher grade of "5 stars" than another, because most of their albums attain that lofty status. To me, there are five distinct periods in the evolution of the band. Broken Barricades marks the end of their second period and also the end of an era with the subsequent departure of guitarist Robin Trower who was instrumental in giving the second period its harder sound.
On Broken Barricades, the usual songwriting team of Gary Brooker and Keith Reid continues at center stage, but with diminished presence. My favorites from that team include the brutal Simple Sister on which Trower plays full throttle, the inscrutable title cut, the suggestive Luskus Delph, and the opaque classic Playmate of the Mouth. Fans of drummer BJ Wilson will thrill to Power Failure. And Trower teams up with Reid to put his stamp on three cuts, the best by far of which is the soaring Song For A Dreamer.
Trower has often been accused of aping Jimi Hendrix, but Trower's style was in formation before Hendrix was well known, so I for one do not agree with that charge. It is true that Trower admired Hendrix, and Song For A Dreamer is Trower's tribute to him.
If you are a fan of Procol Harum on any level, this well-done remaster of a classic album deserves a place in your CD rotation. If this is your first taste of the band, I say buy this while it is still available and check out the band's other great albums.

Actual miniaturized version of the 12” LP in 4” CD version
NEWS OF THE WORLD - When it was released in 1977, NEWS OF THE WORLD seemed at loggerheads with a music world that had moved beyond Queen's operatic pomp-rock and on to punk. In fact, the album was more in step with the punk scene than the output of most superstar acts of the time, as it contains Roger Taylor's furious "Sheer Heart Attack" and Freddie Mercury's lean, brutal "Get Down, Make Love." Of course, NEWS OF THE WORLD is famous for its opening medley, "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions." Attend any sports event in the Western world, and you'll hear the former. If it's a championship match and the home team wins, you'll hear the latter. That's a tribute to the staying power of the music, but News of the World offers proof that, even as Queen maintained their position as rock & roll royalty, they continued to evolve and react to the times.

10. It's Late
11. My Melancholy Blues
12. We Will Rock You [Remix][*]
LIVE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM - Bigger-than-life and proud of it, Queen's tongue-in-cheek pomposity was ironically one of its most endearing charms. This double-disc live album recorded at the band's typically massive 1986 Wembley Stadium stand in support of it’s A KIND OF MAGIC album is a perfect distillation of the band's overarching intentions--and virtually every '70s/'80s rock cliché punk rebelled against. The tracks may reverberate with the boominess of the stadium in which hey were recorded, but it's an ambience that underscores the shows' propulsive, populist intent.
Latter day hits like "Under Pressure" and "Another One Bites the Dust" may have their nascent club-beat savvy hammered into conformity with thumping rockers like "We Will Rock You" and "Tie Your Mother Down," but then this is as unapologetic as stadium rock gets. Mercury, May, Deacon, and Taylor are in top form throughout, shrewdly building the show into what, given its relatively late recording date in their career, might as well be an emblematic greatest hits live (especially on its brisk-paced second disc) experience.

"Ramsey Lewis, Sun Goddess -180 Gram"
RAMSEY LEWIS - SUN GODDESS - 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION -
to this day is one of the BEST instrumentals on the planet with its gorgeous melody & sleek groove. Ramsey Lewis, a master keyboardist and jazz legend in his own right combines forces with the "elements" to make this musical gem. Not only does EWF lend an unforgettable vocal melody, with Maurice and Phillip on percussion, Verdine and Johnny Graham on guitar, Don Myrick on sax and Charles Stepney on fender rhodes, "Sun Goddess" is the epitome of a classic jazz masterpiece. The drumming on this track is amazing as all other solos (check out Myrick's sax and Verdine's bass...too funky!) "Sun Goddess" is 8 1/2 minutes of bliss.
The seventies vibe continues flowing with "Living for the City". The S.Wonder interpretation is laced heavily with rhodes and a punchy string arrangement by Richard Evans. "Love Song" features Cleveland Eaton on upright and fender bass while Ramsey puts in serious work on all 4 kinds of keys as well as guitar. The horns and strings on this track add just the right flavor. "Jungle Strut" is a fun track that showcases the playful verbal antics of Derf Rehlew Raheem, adding African ryhthmic sound effects and dialect. "How Dawgit", like the title track was produced by Maurice White and features the smooth vocals of Phillip Bailey. "Tambura" has a spacey feel to it with its sound effects and percussive arrangement. Kinda brings the image of Bootsy Collins en route to the moon to mind. "Gemini Rising" is another great track on which Maurice Jennings drumming and C.Eaton's bass playing stand out, especially on the solos within the song. Ramseys keys ride the track smoothly.
Overall Sun Goddess is a great ALBUM for jazz lovers or anyone who wants to slip back down memory lane and relax in the mid 70's. Go ahead and put those platforms, bell bottoms, sunglasses and apple caps Right On!

"Rod Stewart, The Vertigo/Mercury Years 1969-1974 OBI Box Set"
ROD STEWART - THE VERTIGO/MERCURY YEARS 1969-1974 - OBI Sealed Box Set WITH 6 Mini Replica LP SET
Japanese OBI MINI REPLICA LP TITLES
Japanese 20 to 24-bit re-mastered Mini LP replica Limited Edition Collection
EACH TITLE HAD only 2,000 Collector pieces made world-wide and all went immediately Out of Print.
Recorded from the finest Original Masters available. Each title Comes with anti-static sleeves similar to Vinyl LPs, Cardboard packaging exact to the original LP, Re-sealable plastic wrap cases for protection of each collectible
and include extensive Liner Notes Booklet. Actual miniaturized version of the 12” LP in 4” CD version.
REPLICA CD'S INCLUDE:
First-pressing-only 6CD box set containing paper-sleeve editions of six
of Rod Stewart's early solo albums. Titles include "An Old Raincoat
Won't Ever Let You Down", "Gasoline Alley", "Every Picture Tells a
Story", "Never a Dull Moment", "Smiler", and "Sing It Again Rod".
EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY -
This was the best rock album of 1971, a true masterpiece of folk rock, hard rock and blues rock. If Rod Stewart had carried on in this vein, he would have been bigger than Elvis now and with his credibility intact, like Springsteen, Tom Waits and the Rolling Stones. These songs are real gems, from the hard rocking Maggie May, Reason To Believe and That's Alright to the more folky numbers like Tomorrow Is A Long Time, Seems Like A Long Time and the deliciously sad but uplifting Mandolin Wind
Track Listings
1. Every Picture Tells a Story
2. Seems Like a Long Time
3. That's All Right
4. Tomorrow Is a Long Time
5. Maggie May
6. Mandolin Wind
7. (I Know) I'm Losing You
8. Reason to Believe
AN OLD RAINCOAT WON'T LET YOU DOWN -
Here are the songs: 1)Street Fighting Man 2)Man Of Constant Sorrow 3)Blind Prayer 4)Handbags And Gladrags 5)An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down 6)I Wouldn't Ever Change a Thing 7)Cindy's Lament 8)Dirty Old Town.
I recommend this album to anyone who likes Rod Stewart's early gritty rock & roll. Keith Emerson also graces this album with some great keyboard work on some of the tracks! Imagine a much harder rocking version of Maggie May, that's the best way I can think of to describe this album. Happy listening!

"Roy Orbison, For The Lonely and Mystery Girl - 2 LP Setl"
Classic Analog Out Of Print LP Pressing w/ small cut out in cover
ROY ORBISON - FOR THE ONLY - A ROY ORBISON ANTHOLOGY, 1956 - 1965 RHINO RECORDS ORIGINAL RELEASE DOUBLE LP SET
PLUS ROY ORBISON'S LAST ORIGINAL LP RELEASE OF MYSTERY GIRL.
BOTH TITLES DECADES OUT OF PRINT - BOTH ORIGINAL RELEASES WHEN VINYL WAS KING - each have a small cutout in jacket.
ROY ORBISON - FOR THE LONELY: A ROY ORBINSON ANTHOLOGY, 1956 - 1965 - REALLY RARE RHINO RECORDS 24 TRACK DOUBLE RECORD PRESSED ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO & AUDIO REMASTERED BY ONE OF THE INDUSTRIES BEST BILL INGLOT (SMALL CUTOUT IN GATEFOLD JACKET) THIS COLLECTION IS SO RARE IT'S NOT EVEN AVAILABLE ON CD ANYMORE.
Equally adept with rockabilly, plaintive ballads and drum-pounding rock, Roy Orbison stayed on the charts for thirty years from the very beginning of the rock era. His greatest legacy though, comes from his soaring, gut-wrenching musical melodramas. Other than Gene Pitney, only Roy Orbison was able to achieve this kind of incredible power and pathos flowing from his songs, examplified by "Only the Lonely", "In Dreams", "It's Over" and the incomparable "Crying". This early ALBUM release from Rhino brings together most of Orbison's biggest chart successes from his early years. With more than two dozen charted records to his credit, this can hardly be comprehensive but does offer a condensed cream-of-the-crop collection of hits plus some rare tracks. Orbison's vocals and the instrumental backrounds come through in startling clarity. The musical backround provided by way of the liner notes booklet follows the period of the recordings on the album. Of all the numerous Orbison Greatest-Hits anthologies available, this is the best and an excellent piece to build a more comprehensive Orbison collection.
TRACKS ARE
SIDE ONE - 1. OOBY DOOBY 2. GO!GO!GO! 3. ROCKHOUSE 4. DEVIL DOLL 5. UPTOWN 6. I'M HURTIN
SIDE TWO - 7.ONLY THE LONELY 8. BLUE ANGEL 9. CRYING 10. CANDY MAN 11. THE CROWD 12. DREAM BABY
SIDE THREE - 13. RUNNING SCARED 14. LEAH 15. WORKIN' FOR THE MAN 16. IN DREAMS 17. FALLING 18. MEAN WOMAN BLUES
SIDE FOUR - 19. OH, PRETTY WOMAN 20. BLUE BAYOU 21. PRETTY PAPER 22. IT'S OVER 23. YOU'RE MY GIRL 24. GOODNIGHT
MYSTERY GIRL - Tragedy of tragedies: Sun Records legend Roy Orbison passed away only a few YEARS AGO after issuing this sunny comeback in 1989. Rescued from the oldies also-ran circuit by his membership in the Traveling Wilburys--alongside fellow legends Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and ELO's Jeff Lynne--the Wayfaring One implemented these stellar pals and others on Mystery Girl and even allowed his son to compose some lyrics for him. Wonder of wonders: his angelic tenor rang true on every track and set the stage for what might've been a huge pop-culture renaissance. No need to fret about the "if only"s. One spin through the radio-chummy "You Got It," and the "Pretty Woman" legacy is crystal clear. We're lucky he was able to record it.
1. You Got It
2. In the Real World

Comes with sleeves similar to Vinyl LPs, Cardboard packaging like an ORIGINAL LP. Actual miniaturized version of the 12” LP in 4” CD version.
Japanese Limited Edition Issue of the Album Classic in a Deluxe, Miniaturized LP Sleeve Replica of the Original Vinyl Album Artwork - Ry broke into the digital technology early in the game, a pioneer. Interestingly, Ry was also one of the first out of the gate to digitalize his early releases, and we're fortunate for it. This release was pivital in 1972, and just as ground breaking in the CD format. Ry cataloged a variety of styles here, renditions of folk songs, delta, progressive blues... all with the originality and sparkle of Ry Cooder's slide guitar style. Profoundly original.
Cherry Ball Blues is my very favorite release, slide guitar, tablas, bass and a few more interesting bits and pieces put together in a tasteful acoustic fusion.
What really brings this release together is the bass playing of Tommy McClure. I really dig his style. Randy Newman is present, Sleepy John Estes (Ax sweet mama, President Kennedy), Jim Keltner on drums, a a few more. Really thoughtful and inspiring musicality. The liner notes don't really add much history behind the recording, but perhaps a quick search will bring together a bit of the studio log, and events associated with the "album."
This release and myself have a history. I bought it in 1972 on vinyl LP, scratched it all up, found another LP at a Flea Market then FINALLY, and thank you Ry, the digital version on CD came out. It won't disappoint.

SMOKEY ROBINSON - BLAME IT ON LOVE & ALL THE GREAT HITS. This LP is your last chance to own the original pressing with all of the colored inserts included.
For the die-hard Smokey fan, this ALBUM is well worth the price, mainly due to a handful of titles; 'Blame It On Love,' and 'Tell Me Tomorrow,' (two very good songs) are difficult to find on VINYL. 'Don't Play Another Love Song,' 'Just Like You', and 'Just a Touch Away' (originally recorded as a duet with High Inergy) are found only on this collection and they are all wonderful.

"Sonny Rollins Quartet, Tenor Madness - #140 - 180 Gram - 45 Speed Last Copy"
NUMBERED 140 - 180 Gram 45 Speed Limited Edition Analog Virgin Vinyl (limited series of only 1000 pieces).
Joined by the rhythm section from the Miles Davis Quintet, the title track "Tenor Madness" also features John Coltrane. This 1956 outing pairs the tenor great with Miles Davis's rhythm section of the time: pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and Philly Joe Jones. Most significantly, the title track represents the only recorded meeting between Rollins and John Coltrane (also a Davis Quintet member at the time), a fierce cutting contest that finds the two legends pushing each other to great effect. The remainder of the session finds Rollins in a warm, relaxed mood, rolling through a typically eclectic repertoire and adding the lightly swinging original "Paul's Pal.
Sonny Rollins Tenor Madness - LOW NUMBERED 140 OF THE 1000 LIMITED EDITION IS OUT OF PRINT AND PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST SEALED COPIES LEFT IN THE WORLD. THIS PRESSING WAS LIMITED TO 1000 PIECES ONLY.
45 Speed - 2 LPS - Numbered 140 & LIMITED TO 1000 PIECES.
Here's How it was done:
Using only the original analog master tapes, the renowned team of Steve Hoffman & Kevin Gray remastered and cut all of the titles at AcousTech Mastering, which features a pure Class-A disc-cutting system. AcousTech is located at Record Technology, Inc. the plant where the vinyl was pressed. It is a tremendous sonic advantage to have the pressing plant plating department & mastering room in the same facility as Steve & Kevin could cut a lacquer and plated immediately. This prevents the degradation of the grooves in a lacquer which is very fragile to quick deterioration.
And of course cutting at 45 speed is the audiophile choice for the highes quality. A 45-RPM record is sonically superior to a 33 1/3 variety because of a 35 percent reduction of groove curvature compared to a 33 1/3 cut.. It means that while you can't fit as much music into a 45, the undukations of the groove that your cartridge has to track are stretched over a longer distance. For these reissues, the music was displaced onto four sides, meaning each side contains about 10 minutes of music.
This is the ultimate reissues. The only way you'll get closer to this classic music is to listen to the master tapes or have been in the studio with the artist originally during the actual session.
Tenor Madness is famous for its title piece, a celebrated collaboration and face-off of the leading new tenor saxophone stylists of the mid-1950s. In their only recorded meeting, Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane played the blues with, at and around one another in a prodigy of exhilaration and inventiveness. Their encounter exemplified the state of advanced modern tenor saxophone jazz improvisation and helped set standards toward which players of the instrument have strived for decades. The 45 SPEED sound brings their adventure into bold relief. In the rest of the album, Rollins used three standard songs and one of his compositions as vehicles for the rhythmic mastery and melodic invention that made him one of the most discussed young soloists in years. Rollins applied his rich, humorous, often quirky imagination to pieces that were familiar (“When Your Lover Has Gone”), unusual as jazz tunes (“My Reverie,” “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World”), and new (“Paul’s Pal”).

"Sonny Rollins, Saxophone Colossus - DCC Factory Sealed 24 Karat Gold CD"
SONNY ROLLINS - SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS - a Long Out Of Print DCC Sealed 24 Karat Limited Edition Gold CD - simply one of the Rarest Limited Edition Jazz Gold CD Pressings in existence.
Please notice the unique packaging that exhibits the Gold CD and Original LP cover inside the Factory Seal. This expensive standard of quality package is only found in these 24-Karat Gold Masterpiece.
One of the pivotal recordings in bringing about the wide-spread acceptance of SONNY ROLLINS as a major figure, SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS inspired critics to write scholarly analyses and fans to revel in hard swinging invention, humor, and tender strength balladry. Up to this Album, while most musicians recognize Rollins as one of the new influential forces in the Jazz of the fifties, most critics were carping at Rollins or damning him with feint praise. “St. Thomas” a traditional West Indian melody which Mal Waldron remembered as “The Carnival” was recorded by many artists after Sonny introduced it here. It remains a Jazz standard today. The contributions of Tommy Flanagan’s eloquent swing, Doug Watkin’s steady lift, and Max Roach’s most musical accompaniment and soloing make this a landmark album.
The recording engineer for this session was Rudy Van Guelder
Songs also included are - YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS - STURODE ROAD - MORITAT (from the THREE PENNY OPERA) - BLUE 7.

"Stan Getz, Getz/Gilberto - 180 Gram"
Stan Getz / Gilberto - 180 Gram Limited Edition classic audiophile analog LP .
Two names spring to mind upon hearing the words jazz and samba , namely those of Stan Getz and João Gilberto. But really one should be thinking of Antonio Carlos Jobim, who, with his composition from 1958 Chega de saudade, first created the type of Brazilian samba that is known today as bossa nova. It was with one of Jobim’s songs, Desafinado, that the bossa nova began its triumphant conquest of the USA. In 1962, Stan Getz made the work widely known when he recorded the number, together with Charlie Byrd, on his album Jazz Samba. It was this recording, along with Focus (1961), which was responsible for Getz’s definitive comeback in the USA at that same time. Jazz Samba opened the floodgates to a new musical vogue, and although cool jazz had been swept aside by hard bop, the reserved and melancholy touch of Getz’s style once again became all the rage. It is really not at all surprising, therefore, that the album Getz/Gilberto, recorded in March 1963 for the Verve label, was a winner right from the very start, bringing together as it did the two godfathers of samba Jobim and Gilberto with their American brother Getz. This music is like a pleasantly warm bath whose water is perfumed with essential oil, or like a mild summer night bathed in golden moonlight. The songs, all of them now classics in their own right, are filled with the joy of life, peace and harmony.

It was this recording, along with Focus (1961), which was responsible for Getz’s definitive comeback in the USA at that same time. Jazz Samba opened the floodgates to a new musical vogue, and although cool jazz had been swept aside by hard bop, the reserved and melancholy touch of Getz’s style once again became all the rage. It is really not at all surprising, therefore, that the album Getz/Gilberto, recorded in March 1963 for the Verve label, was a winner right from the very start, bringing together as it did the two godfathers of samba Jobim and Gilberto with their American brother Getz. This music is like a pleasantly warm bath whose water is perfumed with essential oil, or like a mild summer night bathed in golden moonlight. The songs, all of them now classics in their own right, are filled with the joy of life, peace and harmony

INDELIBLY STAMPED - Like their 1970 self-titled debut, Supertramp's second album, 1971's "Indelibly Stamped," was critically-acclaimed but didn't exactly set the cash registers ablaze. Still, the band continued to evolve, as they stepped away from the psychedelic rock of the first album and honed their trademark jazz/pop/rock hybrid sound that would eventually sell millions, starting with "Crime Of The Century." "Indelibly Stamped" is a marvelous Supertramp album, and a definite sign of things to come. For the second 'Tramp album, singer/guitarist Roger Hodgson and keyboardist Rick Davies got themselves a new line-up: bassist Frank Farrell, drummer Kevin Currie, and Dave Winthrop on flute & sax. Also, Rick Davies finally stepped up to the microphone for the first time with his first batch of lead vocals. Every single song on "Indelibly Stamped" is an excellent one. "Your Poppa Don't Mind" is a fun keyboard-thumper. "Travelled" is a lovely acoustic number that reminds me of vintage Crosby, Stills & Nash, and "Rosie Had Everything Planned" is a fine, light & breezy tune about a woman who gets into trouble with the law. "Remember" is pure arena rock all the way (complete with cheering audience), and "Forever" is, in my estimation, one of the greatest love songs ever written, as it says everything you could ever want to say to your sweetheart in a song, and you can slowdance to it. I'm definitely playing it at my wedding, that's for sure! "Potter" is a brief but excellent blast of guitar rock. "Coming Home To See You" is a pure gem, the lyrics in the style of a phonecall from a rude boyfriend to his girl, with the band kicking into a delightful, chugging choo-choo train jam at the end, featuring some outstanding organ & harmonica from Davies. "Times Have Changed" is a classic Davies ballad, signaling his other great, piano-based compositions that would follow. "Friend In Need" is a short but appealingly playful number, featuring some nice 20's-style piano & sax. And finally, Hodgson leads the band in the tremendous "Aries," a breathtaking 7 1/2 minute acoustic whirlwind. It's a phenomenal piece, another unsung 'Tramp classic. Once again, Hodgson & Davies' singing, songwriting & playing are superb, and their musical chemistry with the rest of the band simply cooks.This second version of Supertramp quickly folded after the commercial disappointment of "Indelibly Stamped," but, without question, they undeniably laid down the blueprint for the third and most-famous version of the band that would follow with "Crime Of The Century," with the band's signature jazz/pop/rock sound now firmly in place. "Indelibly Stamped," like Supertramp's self-titled debut from 1970, is a wonderful buried treasure that no 'Tramp fan should do without.

SUPERTRAMP - SELF TITLES - Many people like Supertramp up to Breakfast in America before they became 'too commercialised', and others like the Breakfast sound and not the earlier albums. Personally I would like to scrap both of those opinions, and say that I think ALL of their albums range from extremely good to sublime. But this first one stands out in my record collection of them. Surely, Maybe I'm A Beggar, Aubade and Other Birds of Prey bring tears to my eyes; and Nothing to Show and It's A Long Road are excellent rockers. As always, the falsetto of Roger Hodgson is hauntingly beautiful, leaving a soaring feeling long after you've turned off your hi-fi. Rick Davies does magic on the keyboards, Bob Miller's Led Zeppelin drumming is fantastic, and Richard Palmer's bass adds perfectly tuned low notes to the ensemble. All in all this is Supertramp at its finest - at times a Floyd/Zeppelin sound, mixed with their later sound: a FANTASTIC album. Another few albums I would recommend for the melodious sound are Even In The Quietest Moments, Crime of the Century and Famous Last Words, as well as Breakfast in America of course. Long live Supertramp

FREE AS A BIRD - It's back in print! Hooray! After being MIA from record shops for several years, Supertramp's 1987 album, "Free As A Bird," has been re-issued & re-mastered, for which Tramp fans, especially those who missed the album the first time around, can be grateful. "Free As A Bird" barely made a dent on the album charts 15 years ago, and the band couldn't even tour for it in North America, but it's a great album all the same. After the serious tone of 1985's "Brother Where You Bound," Rick Davies & company decided for the follow-up album to lighten things up and have fun. "Free As A Bird" is a very catchy, upbeat, sometimes dance-oriented Tramp album that's perfect to play at a party, or cruise down the highway to. Songs like "It's Alright" & "I'm Beggin' You" will get you on the dancefloor in no time. The title song, a minor hit, is a Supertramp concert staple, with a great sing-along chorus. And there's more great jazz/pop from the band in tracks like "Not The Moment," "Thing For You," and the calypso-influenced finale, "An Awful Thing To Waste."After "Free As A Bird," Supertramp took a whole decade off before resuming work with 1997's "Some Things Never Change," and the "Free As A Bird" album itself went out of print for several years. But now that it's back, DON'T miss out. "Free As A Bird" is Supertramp at their most fun, and a great buried treasure from this great band.

BROTHER WHERE YOU BOUND - This album, the first to be recorded without guitarist/vocalist Roger Hodgson stands out for a couple reasons:
1. It was a massive improvement on their previous album, "Famous Last Words"
2. It has a darker, jazzier sound than any of their other work.
Granted that most of their previous material had been largely upbeat, majoy key compositions, many die hard Supertramp fans simply don't know what to think of this, hence the bad reviews. But this is a brilliant album. Possibly one of the best released in the horrendous decade for music, the 80's.
4 of the six songs are dark, minor key and somewhat slow in tempo, except for the danceable, infectious "Cannonball." The remaining two songs have a happier feel. The title track is very different for Supertramp, and the most progressive work they've done to date, alongside "Fool's Overture." In terms of structure is it somewhat incohesive, but overall it has brilliant music moments in it that make it a true masterpiece, a standout in the bands repertoire.
The melancholy "No Inbetween," is quite slow moving, but still holds your interest. "Better Days" is somewaht dramatic and emotional and has a cool jam thing in the end. "Still in Love" is more traditional Supertramp fare, with it's catchy sax lines and jumpy piano. "Ever Open Door" is sort of a slow, tender kind of song, and a nice warm way to close an album.
For people who aren't fans of change, skip this. For those who are, buy it for sure. The darker, piano-dominated sound is certainly a change, and definetly a welcome one. True, the loss of Hodgson is lamentable, but don't worry about it too much, because without him, Supertramp is alive and well.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS - Famous Last Words" was just that for Roger Hodgson, co-songwriter, whose departure is synonymous with the album. But not letting disputes or history ruin the music, Supertramp offers yet another superb album, still keeping their catchy mock-pop flavor, but trading in their stark cynicism for a well balanced and finely produced element of R&B, with that classic arrogant touch. Though FAMOUS LAST WORDS was one of the last in a string of successful albums for Supertramp, it nonetheless shows a wonderful progression from their tight musical style of the 70's to an even more harmonic, traditional--yet inventive--fashion. The tracks here may be the most quintessential Supertramp tracks of the 80's, setting the stage for those contained on 1985's Brother Where You Bound? (which Hodgson was not a part of). Crazy has a catchy yet uniquely creative beat and tune (like all tracks on FAMOUS LAST WORDS)
My Kind of Lady is a simple love song that compliments Bonnie, which could have easily been a staple of soft rock radio, while the vocally organized Put On Your Old Brown Shoes and C'est Le Bon are probably Supertramp's most obviously R&B-influenced songs to date; the excellent Know Who You Ar' holds a mood of near-melancholia; It's Raining Again is one of their most curious songs (since'Give a Little Bit from"Even in the Quietest Moment"), this one being a highly upbeat, traditionally quirky ditty for the brokenhearted, complete with a chorus of kids singing It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring..." Then again, Waiting So Long boasts heavier guitar riffs and haunting vocal sounds, an exemplary Supertramp performance, as Don't Leave Me Now is one of the more musically imaginative ballads of the 80s.
PARIS - GATEFOLD JACKET REPLICA - If you are a fan of the 70's, you need this album. If you don't own any Supertramp, this is the one to get. From the opening harmonica in 'School' to the closing harmonica in 'Crime of The Century', this 16-track set is just mind-blowing. Why? So many textures working magically together to create rich musical patterns. Even if this was a studio album, the production/arrangements would be classed as awesome. Consider that it is live, and that there are only 5 musicians (not 30 as it sometimes sounds), it has got to be just bloody brilliant! "Do yourself a favour!" Close the blinds - dim the lights - sit in your comfy chair - setup your multidisc player for uninterrupted play, and transport yourself to 1980, Paris. Oh, and by the way - standout track is the climactic "Crime of the century". The guitar part is verging out-of-control, and the sax part will rip your heart out!

BREAKFAST IN AMERICA - After a shaky start followed by several critically acclaimed releases, the English group Supertramp hit the commercial jackpot in 1979 with Breakfast in America. The album combined the band's FM radio, AOR-rock style with an almost carnival-like nature. Breakfast gave the band major hits with "The Logical Song," "Goodbye Stranger," and "Take the Long Way Home." The plinking piano and dramatic clarinet runs of "The Logical Song" imparted a comic, yet bittersweet tone to the release as a whole. In another example of the band's devotion to alternative ways to carry their melody lines, "Goodbye Stranger" rings with some of the purest whistling ever recorded. There's also a healthy dose of cynicism running through the 10 tracks with "Just Another Nervous Wreck."
1. Gone Hollywood

EVEN IN THE QUESTEST MONENTS - In Supertramp's heyday back in the 1970's and early 1980's, there was nobody else quite like them. Their music was, and still is, unique. On Even in the Quietest Moments, this band has done what they always did best: they play intelligent music with complex musical compositions, variable textures, and thoughtful lyrics. This album is a masterpiece.
"Fool's Overture" is an unforgettable epic song, taking eleven minutes to wind through a masterfully crafted musical landscape until reaching an intense crescendo led by Roger Hodgson's soaring vocals. The title track is of similar magnanimity; it's just as enthralling, but it's only six minutes long. "Give A Little Bit" proved to be a hit single and is Supertramp's most widely known song on the album. "Lover Boy" is a lighthearted affair, and "Downstream" is a quaint voyage on the water with nothing more than Rick Davies and his piano. "Babaji" is another intense and entertaining ride, and "From Now On" has an almost jazz-like sound to it highlighted by John Anthony Helliwell's saxophone.
That covers the album... Seven outstanding songs from a talented group of seven musicians. It's a shame Roger Hodgson left Supertramp, as he was half of the band's creative genius (the other half being Rick Davies, of course). But Even in the Quietest Moments captures Supertramp's majestic sound, and I highly recommend the album to you!
1. Give a Little Bit
2. Lover Boy
3. Even in the Quietest Moments
4. Downstream
5. Babaji
6. From Now On
7. Fool's Overture
CRISIS WHAT CRISIS? - Ex-`Tramp Roger Hodgson calls "Crisis? What Crisis?" the Supertramp album he listens to most often, because of it's "rawness," at Hodgson puts it. The album was indeed devised while the band was under pressure to put forth another album and tour in the wake of their breakthrough third album "Crime of the Century," which may be why the ex-vocalist finds the finished product more raw when compared to other Supertramp albums. But for an album that was planned and recorded while the band was under stress to keep the momentum going, "Crisis? What Crisis?" is an elaborate suite of songs, making it a crushing shame that the album will almost never appear on any big-time 100 Greatest Albums of Rock & Roll lists.
The dignified pop of Supertramp always sounded clinical and studio-polished, but not because of any Steely Dan-like studio isolation. That's just the way it was (ironically it translated well onto stage, as captured on the 1980 live album "Paris"). This album isn't exactly "raw" but it is certainly a bit more freewheeling and often less tightly wound as Supertramp's other albums. The album also allows a bit more space for Hodgson's guitars, which he often replaced with keyboards. Even though the quintet was under pressure to release another album, many spots on the album suggest that the band was having some fun, shown in the positive opener `Easy Does It,' `Lady,' and `Another Man's Woman.' There is however at least one genuinely raw song, the heavy schizophrenic `Ain't Nobody But Me.' But there are also plenty of tracks to confirm Supertramp's ability to create pure, flawless, and sophisticated pop songs like `Sister Moonshine' and `A Soapbox Opera.'. The world-weary `Just A Normal Day' is balanced by the more optimistic and catchy `The Meaning.' The innocent `Poor Boy' is a delight, and speaking of innocent, the closing `Two Of Us' is as elegant a three-and-a-half-minutes as any `Tramp fan could ask for.
"Crisis? What Crisis?" connected perfectly with "Crime of the Century," and though its chart peak in the US was just a few spots below its predecessor, many of its songs were becoming staples of FM radio, establishing Supertramp as a serious, dignified attraction. And there was more where this came from; maybe it wasn't such a "Crisis" after all.

CRIME OF THE CENTURY - After releasing two albums to less than positive critique, Crime of the Century, with the classic track "Dreamer," set Supertramp truly on the map. It also marked the beginning of a long and illustrious career for a band that originally came together through the "Musicians Wanted" section of a British paper. Combining the best of a myriad of musical styles, Supertramp, with its heavily keyboard-powered and sax-colored progressive pop sound, forged a sound that few have ever come close to emulating
