It wasn’t before they issued “Crime Of The Century” in 1974 that SUPERTRAMP became a household name and the songs from this platter – first and foremost “Bloody Well Right” and “Dreamer” – became ubiquitous. The British band didn’t wait for a long time to take the record on the road, but they spent a few months after its October release in the Old World and flew Stateside in April of 1975, saying goodbye to home audience on March 9th with a show at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. There, the group played not only their fresh album in its entirety, split in two sequential parts, and adding a few pieces from the yet-to-be-out “Crisis? What Crisis?” to the set which was filmed for posterity and has never been officially available. Until now.
Crime Of The Century:
In Concert At Hammersmith Odeon 1975
On May 29th, what used to be a bootleg will finally see the light under the title of “Crime Of The Century: In Concert At Hammersmith Odeon 1975”: restored from the original 16mm print and upgraded to high definition, with audio handled by the album producer Ken Scott. The Blu-ray edition should feature a Dolby ATMOS mix, while DVD, CD and vinyl versions apparently get a glorious stereo.
