I’ve never quite made up my mind about Supertramp. On one hand, I remember hearing their stuff in the 1970s and thinking most of it was thin crap, but on the other hand I recognized some impressive beauty on tracks such as “Take the Long Way Home” and “Goodbye Stranger,” and the live version of “Dreamer” (which I heard on the radio more often than I heard the studio version) was quite exhilirating at times. I’ve compromised in getting this “hits” CD, allowing myself to take my time dipping into their work in a broader spectrum and to see how I feel about revisiting my earlier negative impressions.
