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.

I cannot believe I've robbed myself of this masterpiece for so many years. Wow, what a mental snapshot of 1980 for me. Really beautiful front to back. Bravo!

I read the reviews and getting a damaged LP is common but I got a good one! Just exchange it for a good one if you get a dud.

4.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD ALBUM WITH UPDATED SOUND AND EXTRA DISC OF LIVE SONGS
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2010
Verified Purchase
Two discs-46,65 minutes each approximately. The remastered sound is very good-there's a crispness, without being harsh, to the original studio album, and the live tracks, while not as open sounding as the studio tracks, are still very good. Voices and instruments are clearly defined in the mix. The discs are snapped inside the four-fold holder. Unlike past "Deluxe Editions", this release doesn't have the clear plastic outer sleeve. Instead there's a plastic band around the bottom portion, which is perforated for easy opening. The graphics inside the package consist of ads and magazine covers featuring SUPERTRAMP, plus two photographs of "cities" similar to the cover. The 35 page booklet has an overview of both the group and the album, written by Phil Alexander, Editor of Mojo Magazine. Also include are lyrics for the original album, and a number of color and b&w photos of the group.

"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.

My first picture disk and I love it, had this on cassette back in the 80’s and completely wore it out, so happy to have it on vinyl now, even if it’s a little noisy between songs, most of my records are anyway because they are so old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Supertramp ?. Superstars !
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2024

I 1st heard this incredible album at my cousins house in 1979. Just weeks after it were released, he had a new hi-fi system & sounded stunning on it.

I must admit I was surprised to hear this was an analogue recording. 3M had just introduced their digital 32-track recorder for use in studios & I certainly thought this album had been recorded on it, but apparently not.

Much credit must be given to Peter Henderson who was the main engineer & co-producer (with the band) for delivering such amazing sound quality.

Very strongly recommended, but only with regards to an early (pre-remastered) pressing

5.0 out of 5 stars L'ultime version en SACD (Mobile Fidelity / MFSL)
Reviewed in France on September 3, 2023
Verified Purchase
Album intemporel. Album mythique. L'un des derniers à clôturer cette riche décennie qu'étaient les années 70. Mon premier 45 tours acheté (face A The Logical Song / face B Just Another Nervous Wreck), alors ado à l'époque. Puis le 33 T. Des années plus tard (2002), la version remasterisée en CD, puis récemment, au fur et à mesure des (ré) éditions, le bluray pure-audio, la version SACD japonaise non hybride (disponible sur ce site), et enfin le SACD hybride de Mobile Fidelity (au moment de ce commentaire, il en restait 3 neufs aux environs de 40 €). Pour rappel, un non hybride ne peut se lire que sur un lecteur SACD, alors qu'un hybride peut se lire sur n'importe quel lecteur sachant lire un CD (donc lecteurs DVD, bluray aussi). Bien sûr, l'intérêt de ce SACD, c'est d'en lire la couche, puisque la résolution est 64 fois plus élevée que son équivalent CD. Contrairement à ce que j'ai lu sur l'un des commentaires, les platines pouvant lire des SACD ne se limitent pas à des produits haut de gamme, dépassant allègrement les 3000 €. On peut trouver encore parmi les lecteurs bluray universels (il en existe, il est vrai, de moins en moins), des Sony, aux alentours des 200 € : seule vraie contrainte, posséder un appareil (ampli, barre de son), avec entrée HDMI et allumer la TV car ces lecteurs ne possèdent pas d'afficheur. Marché d'occasion aussi mais attention à l'âge et/ou au type de bloc optique (lentille en verre au lieu de plastique - désolé pour les non initiés). Enfin, dans le neuf récent, les prix démarrent aux alentours des 1000 €.
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.
