Free Music Notes for The Very Best Of Supertramp
Free Music Review: Not as comprehensive as Retrospectacle but still good for casual Supertramp fans
Hit: 5 Stars
The Very Best of Supertramp was released in December of 2001.
The album was originally released in 1987 as Supertramp Classics as part of A&M's 25th Anniversary series.
That collection had 14 songs(Goodbye Stranger, The Logical Song,
Bloody Well Right, Breakfast In America, Rudy, Take The Long Way Home, Crime Of The Century, Dreamer, Ain't Nobody But Me, Hide In Your Shell, From Now On, Give A Little Bit, It's Raining Again and Cannonball) but somehat shoddy mastering and Goodbye Stranger, The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home and Cannonball were all edited.
On this reissued version of Supertramp Classics with a new title, The Very Best of Supertramp, you get the full album versions of those tracks(at least on the US pressings of The Very Best of Supertramp) plus the song School is added and is the new opening track of this compilation.
Some griped that songs from Even in the Quietest Moments, Crisis What Crisis and Famous Last Words were left off for 3/4 of Crime and a good chunk of Breakfast in America but the new Retrospectacle 2-disc set covers everything up to 2002.
If you don't know where to start on Supertramp, this 15 song best of is a best bet but if you have the albums or Retrospectacle then don't bother.
Free Music Review: The BEST of Supertramp!
Hit: 5 Stars
'The Very Best of Supertramp' is by far the best Supertramp compilation on the American market. Almost identical to 'Classics, Vol. 9,' only this set features the full-length album versions, and adds my favorite song from the 'Crime of the Century' record, 'School.'
Mostly every single Supertramp hit is here. 'Give A Little Bit,' 'Take The Long Way Home,' 'Breakfast In America,' 'The Logical Song,' 'Cannonball' and 'Rudy' all appear on this set for your listening pleasure. And, A&M gets tons of credit for remastering these tracks beautifully. In translation, the sound quality is excellent!
And, album cuts like 'Crime of the Century' and 'Ain't Nobody But Me' also appear on this set.
Overall, if you buy it with 'The Very Best of Supertramp 2,' than you'll have all of Supertramp's important songs. But overall, this is highly recommended for the new or casual fan.
Highly recommended. ENJOY!!!
Free Music Review: The logical compilation of Supertramp tunes
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember listening to Supertramp when I was just a little boy in the early eighties. I didn't know the name of the band. I just knew the famous catchy tunes and the signature BeeGees-type voice of its singers. It's Raining Again and Give A Little Bit are the songs I really remember getting hooked on. I just love the theme and sound of those songs...and more.This compilation is probably the best Supertramp greatest hits album they can come out with. Its got all the big hits, the highlights are: Breakfast In America, a sweet little pop song; Goodbye Stranger, another sweet pop song that the lyrics of will play back in your head everytime you read the title (ok, you can stop now!); The Logical Song, a logical choice, this song was one of Supertramp's biggest singles and it is possibly their best written song; From Now On, a nice sing along; Its Raining Again and Give A Little Bit, for the reasons listed above.

Free Music Review: an absolute pleasure
Hit: 5 Stars
I remember growing up with SuperTramp. I woke up a year ago, thirty-nine years in age, and had to hear the "Logical Song." I bought this compilation and was blown away.
I don't generally like compilations. This is an exception. Wow! If you want to bask in the glow of the seventies, this is it. There is not one bad song on this CD. I had no idea that SuperTramp created so many phenomenal songs.
There is a beauty to their music -- a romantic, slightly philosophical approach that is so terribly lost in contemporary pop music.
The blending of songs is wonderful. I admit I've never owned an album of theirs, but this just rivals any top ten album one could buy. This doesn't stink of a compilation produced for more money in retirement years. There is an undescribable beauty to this CD.
If you appreciate seventies music, you will cherish this compilation.
Free Music Review: redefining classic
Hit: 5 Stars
My God. Supertramp. How could I have missed out on this and so much classic rock, having to instead be subjected to the sonic nightmares of today? Ok enough melodrama, this hits album is greatness. Crime of the century is definitely Supertramps best, followed by Breakfast in america. Appropriately a great # of songs from both albums are here, including my favorites: The logical song, Bloody well right, Take thel ong way home, Crime of the century, Dreamer, and Hide in your shell. They can only be called masterpieces. pop perfection if you will. However on a critical note, the lyrics just dont fit the music. The music is catchy, happy, melodic. The lyrics dark and often brooding and apocalyptic. Still, dont let that sway you, this album is very lcose to musical perfection in my humble little 21 yearo ld opinion.
