New sealed copy. 2025 50th anniversary remastered reissue on 180 gram vinyl. Half-speed mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Pressed in Germany.

Crime of the Century marked Supertramp’s commercial breakthrough and laid the groundwork for their distinctive blend of progressive rock, pop, and theatrical storytelling. Released in 1974, it introduced the classic lineup of Bob Siebenberg, John Helliwell, and Dougie Thomson, and was co-produced by Ken Scott (David Bowie, The Beatles).

Anchored by standout tracks like “Dreamer,” “Bloody Well Right,” and “School,” the album connected deeply with audiences across the UK, Canada, and Germany, and eventually climbed into the US Top 40. The LP balances polished, melodic songwriting with a darker, conceptual undercurrent, exploring themes of alienation, conformity, and disillusionment.

Widely praised for its lush production and emotional range, Crime of the Century is now considered a landmark release in 70s rock, and has earned spots on lists like Rolling Stone’s “50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time.”
