Supertramp | CLASSICS VOL 9 | CD

Producers: Peter Henderson, Supertramp, Ken Scott, David Kershenbaum.
Liner Note Author: Patrick Snyder.
Over its 14 tracks, the 1987 U.S. compilation Classics, Vol. 9 glosses over a few fine moments from the falsetto-happy art rockers' early career misfires ("Dreamer," "Bloody Well Right," etc.) and sporadic latter-day hits ("Give a Little Bit," "It's Raining Again," etc.), then bites down on the meat, or rather the breakfast meat, of Supertramp's greatest commercial triumph, 1979's multi-million-selling Breakfast in America ("Goodbye Stranger," "The Logical Song," "Take the Long Way Home," the title track). Released in 1990, The Very Best of Supertramp went a step further, arguably bettering this release by adding or supplanting a song or two, but casual fans are guaranteed to get their money's worth with either one. [Classics, Vol. 9 was released internationally as The Autobiography of Supertramp.] ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
