Supertramp, a grouping of five talented musicians that blended their early progressive styles with an increasing favor for Pop music. By the time Crime Of the Century rolled out in 1974, radio picked up on several tracks including “Dreamer”, and then “Bloody Well Right” and “School”. With those songs and a burgeoning popularity in the US, Supertramp created five more best-selling albums, all generating a collection of singles. One of those albums was Breakfast In America. It generated the well-loved tracks that included “The Logical Song”, “Goodbye Stranger”, and “Take The Long Way Home”. That Grammy Award-winning album was popular throughout the world and for good reasons.
On February 28, Mercury Studios will revisit the popular 1979 tour that generated the classic A&M Records-issued Paris live set issued in 1980. That album was a worldwide best-seller and produced three live singles. That album was from a set of sold out shows at the Pavilion de Paris held from November 29 (which the Paris live album was culled from) through December 2. Mercury pulls from the December 1, 1979 set to provide a new Paris package to be titled Live In Paris ’79, creating two legit live sets from the same period of time!
Live In Paris ’79 will be provided on 2CD, DD, and 3LP sets. If you’re serious Supertramp fan, then this set should probably be in your library appending to the original Paris album as a serious continuation and celebration of the most fertile point of their career.
You can preorder Live in Paris ’79 here.
