INDELIBLY STAMPED

Perhaps the most unusual of all Supertramp albums and you can see why it threw so many people. It has a rough edge to it, was totally different to the excellent debut but I will defend that in parts it has some great tracks which showed an inkling of better things to come.' Rosie Has Everything Planned' is a typical Hodgson song full of melancholy. ' Travelled' another soft ballad until it builds to quite a rocking climax.On side 2 Rick Davies has a bit more influence on tracks like ' A friend in Need' and the seven minute ' Aries'. ' Potter' is one of the most unusual tracks they have ever done. Remember without this Crime of the Century probably would not have happened. A good album for greater works in progress.
