Supertramp "The Very Best of Supertramp" (1990)

The Very Best of Supertramp (compilation)
release date: Jun. 3, 1990
format: digital
[album rate: 3 / 5]
producer: various
label: A&M Records - nationality: England, UK

Compilation album by Supertramp comprising mostly the band's most commercially successful albums with just one track originating from Crisis? What Crisis?, one from "'Famous Last Words', and one from their '85 album without Hodgson Brother Where You Bound, two from Even in the Quietest Moments..., but then four tracks have found it's way to this from Breakfast in America and six (!) from Crime of the Century, which makes it a best of album consisting of 2 /3 of the songs originating from only two albums, which I think is near ridiculous. Yes, it's a compilation, and although Supertramp isn't one of my favourite acts, I really miss more songs - also from my personal favourite.
