Supertramp – Crime of the Century [Stereo] (Abbey Road Studios Half-Speed Mastering Series Edition)

(DDA) — Lacquers cut at half speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios from a digital master.

(Note: none of the releases in the Abbey Road Studios Half-Speed Mastering series are mastered all-analog. According to a 2016 interview with Miles introducing the launch of the series, Universal does not ship master tapes across the Atlantic Ocean any longer. Instead, a digital file — typically, a flat hi-res transfer of the master tape — is provided. However, specific source and mastering details for this edition of Crime of the Century have not been made publicly available.)

Supertramp — Crime Of The Century

180-gram vinyl

Half-speed mastered at Abbey Road Studios

Crime Of The Century was Supertramp's era-defining third album that catapulted them to global success in 1974, breaking them into the U.K. Top 5 and Billboard Top 40 album charts for the first time. As the album fast-tracked the band's global popularity, they would write and record Crisis? What Crisis? that was released just 13 months after Crime Of The Century.

With oversight of the band and co-producer Ken Scott, this 50th Anniversary reissue has been remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios on 180-gram vinyl giving it greater detail and the best possible clarity.
