I know that I'm probably in a minority but "Crisis? What Crisis?" is my favourite Supertramp album and this brilliant track is part of the reason for my opinion. I reckon that this could have been a sizeable hit single in the UK if it had been released, given that in those days we had a reasonably discerning record-buying public who would dare to buy ambitious, sophisticated, unconventional singles such as Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", "I'm Mandy, Fly Me" and "Rubber Bullets" (10 c.c.), "Sylvia" and "Hocus Pocus" (Focus), "Live And Let Die" and "Band On The Run" (Wings), "Music" (John Miles), "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us" (Sparks) and many others which broke the standard formula for hit singles. There are many other examples, I'm sure. Perhaps commenters might be kind enough to reply with examples of other unorthodox hit singles from that era?
Позвольте присоединиться к вам, как вы написали к меньшинству любителей. 🤝 Этот альбом я слушаю с 5 (!) лет. А мне сейчас 50. Уж не знаю где мои родители раздобыли его на бобинной кассете в середине 70х в СССР. До появления интернета мне даже не было известно название этой группы. Но все детство и всю жизнь со мной этот именно альбом. Для меня это лучшее!
