Supertramp / Crime Of The Century & Crisis? What Crisis vinyl reissues

Supertramp are to reissue half-speed remastered vinyl editions of their commercial breakthrough album, Crime Of The Century, and its follow-up, Crisis? What Crisis?

After their self-titled debut in 1970 and its successor, Indelibly Stamped Supertramp veered away from their prog roots to mainstream acclaim on 1974’s Crime Of The Century thanks to the ‘Dreamer’ single, with the album reaching No 4 in the UK and No 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. A year later, Crisis? What Crisis? was less successful in the chart, but has since been named Roger Hodgson’s favourite Supertramp album.

Both albums have been remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road, overseen by the band and original co-producer Ken Scott. They each maintain their original tracklisting.

Crime Of The Century is no stranger to being remastered. It was first remastered in 1999, then again in 2002, 2008, 2014 and 2019. The 2014 remaster saw its only expanded 2CD reissue (and a 3LP vinyl box), with the sole extra a 1975 Hammersmith Odeon concert.

Crisis? What Crisis? has been relatively neglected, having only been previously remastered in 2003 and 2008. It has yet to receive an expanded CD edition.

Since their final tour in 2011, which didn’t feature Hodgson, Supertramp have endured a messy royalties case. Dougie Thompson, John Helliwell and Bob Siebenberg sued main songwriters Hodgson and Rick Davies after they stopped receiving royalties in 2021. Davies settled out of court in 2023, while Hodgson won his case in court a year later.

Crime Of The Century and Crisis? What Crisis? are reissued on 29 August 2025 via UMR.
