I used to have that. Don't know why, but I couldn't get on with it. Must have passed it on, as it's not in my collection.

It's play now and then album for me, superbly mixed and produced, and very good recording SQ. There are quite a few classic songs on it. I saw them live at Wembley Arena on when they were World Tour with it, the stage was impressive being in the shape of the spaceship on the album cover, at the start lots of build up and white smoke as the top half lifted up to reveal ELO in their glory, impressive for back them. It was a very good concert to say the least.

Morning all and I start the day with this 1985 release; the first album following the departure of Roger Hodgson. Now this is not as big a challenge for a band who has had lead vocals from two members, as the remaining member is still a familiar part of the bands sound. The album has many familiar Supertramp traits but there is certainly a more bluesy and more synth element to the sound.

I have all the albums prior to this on either vinyl or cd or both ! However, for some reason I have never got around to buying this untill now. Which in part is due to the good fortune of winning a £100 Amazon voucher for filling in one of those online surveys that you normally bin straight away when you see thr email !

Track Listing:

1 Cannonball
2 Still In Love
3 No Inbetween
4 Better Days - Supertramp, David Kershenbaum, Norman Hall, Allan Sides, Steve Crimmel, Gary Chang, An
5 Brother Where You Bound
6 Ever Open Door

Next up and also courtesy of the Amazon voucher is their 1987 release and the last to feature all new music.

The album was a turn of direction of sorts, with most of the songs stepping back from their progressive rock sound, employing synthesised dance beats and rhythms. Chief songwriter Rick Davies later recalled, "Free as a Bird*was an experiment to try and be modern and build it up with computers and drum machines and have people come in one by one, which makes you lose the band spirit a little bit."

Which sums everything up quite nicely. Don't get me wrong this is not a bad album just a different sound than you have known from Supertramp but not as big a departure from what you know as Rush took with Grace Under Pressure !

Track Listing:

1 It's Alright
2 Not The Moment
3 It Doesn't Matter
4 Where I Stand
5 Free As a Bird
6 I'm Beggin' You
7 You Never Can Tell With Friends
8 Thing For You
9 An Awful Thing To Waste
