Editorial Reviews
Limited SACD hybrid pressing. Supertramp's Breakfast in America has it all: Illustrious artwork. Sing-a-long hooks. Contagious melodies. Symphonic bluster. Rhapsodic thrust. Signature Wurlitzer electric piano sounds. Two Grammy Awards, including one for Best Engineered Album. More than 20 million copies sold. Four Billboard hit singles that continue to dominate radio airplay today. Every aspect of the chart-topping art-rock set screams blockbuster, not the least of which is the production, the result of painstaking studio setups and months of mixing. Indeed, aside from the undeniably catchy nature of the ten tracks, fun remains the most central element of Breakfast in America. The band even titled the record to fall in line with the overall joyful feeling of the material. Home to a quartet of commercial staples - 'The Logical Song,' 'Goodbye Stranger,' 'Take the Long Way Home,' and the title track - Breakfast in America teems with arena-sized drama, meticulous craftsmanship, and mesmerizing refrains. Shrewd lyrical turns abound, whether on the phonetic, adjective-stacked 'The Logical Song,' life-in-America portrait 'Child of Vision,' or move-to-L.A. saga 'Gone Hollywood.' U.S. references also dot the smash title track, which reflects the glib humor, romantic fantasies, and pop culture permeating the record. Breakfast in America also retains it's vitality because of it's expert instrumentation and placement. Deemed a 'a textbook-perfect album of post-Beatles, keyboard-centered English art rock that strikes the shrewdest possible balance between quasi-symphonic classicism and rock 'n' roll' by Rolling Stone shortly after it's release, the record serves as a blueprint of reference-setting production and mixing. Check the scorching guitar outro on 'Goodbye Stranger,' gospel accents on 'Lord Is It Mine,' saxophone lines on 'Take the Long Way Home,' or chemistry of the choruses on basically every piece here. It's enough to make one long for the '70s again.

"Breakfast In America" was, arguably, the group's best album. But a case could be made for "Crime of the Century", "Even In the Quietest Moments", or even "Crisis? What Crisis"? All had good, well written, well arranged songs, plus a number of commercially popular tunes. Even when they recorded in the U.S., they had a very English/cup of tea sound, which helped give the band a unique identity. If you've read this far, chances are you're at least familiar with "Breakfast...", or an outright fan (like me) of the band. So it's not really necessary to detail the original album.
The live disc, with tracks from Wembley, Miami, and more tracks from the "Paris" concert, all from 1979, make up, to some extent, the "Breakfast..." album. Five tracks recreate a good portion (2-6 from the original album) of that album, even though "Gone Hollywood" is sadly absent. The other tracks (songs include "Even In the Quietest Moments", "Rudy", "Give a Little Bit", and others), are all crowd favorites, and add a bit of depth to this release. As I wrote previously, the sound is very good-immediate, crisp, and clean. The band recreates the songs to something approaching the studio versions. And that's fine, up to a point. Never known for their improvisational skills, nevertheless it would've been great to hear the band stretch out a bit instrumentally, or vary the tempo slightly to add interest and depth to familiar tunes.
But in the end, these songs are just fine as examples of SUPERTRAMP in concert (hear the live "Paris" album)-delivering their unique songs and sound to an enthusiastic crowd. And with this live collection, we get to hear more from this underrated, yet fine, band. Hopefully we'll hear their other albums, from this same era, in similar editions.

Ich mag sie einfach, tolle CD! 👍
Pour en revenir au disque, même notre prof d'anglais au collège nous avait passé le titre de Logical Song à cause des nombreux adjectifs qui parsèment le texte. Aucun des titres n'est à jeter, à l'exception peut-être de Casual Conversation, en retrait par rapport au reste des compositions. Mes titres préférés sont Gone Hollywood, Goodbye Stranger, Take The Long Way Home, The Logical Song, Breakfast in America. Et sur ce SACD, MFSL a fait du bon boulot. J'ai depuis longtemps basculé sur ce type de support, non seulement parce qu'à l'époque où Sony et Philips ont sorti ce format, le vinyle avait disparu majoritairement des linéaires des disquaires, et qu'à mon oreille le son du SACD rejoignait celui de la galette noire, mais qu'en plus, finis les craquements, les disques rayés, l'usure au fil du temps, et, il faut bien l'avouer, le gain de place, sans oublier le multicanal rendu possible. Donc quand le SACD existe, je le privilégie au vinyle, surtout quand c'est MFSL qui s'en charge (mais aussi Analog Production, Sony, Parlophone, EMI). Dommage que les autres albums ne bénéficient pas de ce traitement, en particulier Crime of The Century.
