At last, our long national nightmare ended, Supertramp brings in an album to wash the late taste of disco from our musical palates. Abbreviated post today, except to note that one of the sound effects in "Logical Song" was the double-whistle tweet from Mattel's hand-held football game, on which I attained a form of unbeatability in that I could hold the ball for the entirety of a half before scoring on the last play.
1. Gone Hollywood
2. Logical Song
3. Goodbye Stranger
4. Breakfast in America
5. Oh Darling
6. Take the Long Way Home
7. Lord Is It Mine
8. Just Another Nervous Wreck
9. Casual Conversations
10. Child of Vision

(2,682 posts)I'm listening to Supertramp's Crime of the Century album through my computer. I've got the vinyl Breakfast in America but haven't listened to it for a while. Think I'll do that tonight when I sit down to pay the bills.
