the sun upon the high wall, When they discover everyone's another You were so nimble I would have fought her as a symbol Now I can't afford to We'll be right back.
Alan KraslowHOST
Music from Supertramp here on the Kraslov Vinyl Show from Breakfast in America.
Alan KraslowHOST
And that is such a good album.
Alan KraslowHOST
Just a nervous wreck is what we heard.
AshHOST
So it was always on.
AshHOST
But mostly Breakfast in America.
AshHOST
Yeah.
AshHOST
Because when I kind of stumbled across Crisis What Crisis, I'd mentioned it to him and I was like, oh, dad, you know, this is, you know, ironic.
AshHOST
And...
AshHOST
Yeah.
AshHOST
uh breakfast in america which is kind of the unique thing about this album because it's the one that sits in between of the two big ones yeah
MatthewHOST
i i did a bit of a deep dive yeah no interested to hear that and because you know super tramp um you know in that sort of british 70s um and thinking of bands like teenage fan club and that 90s lot you know super tramp really aren't a reference point they don't come up a lot But as I listened to the album, I could hear bits and pieces.
speaker_2HOST
There was a lot of detractors that said kind of the same thing.
speaker_2HOST
They were pretty straightforward and boring i don't know i mean they are an artsy group i mean this is this the album is breakfast in america from 1979 and i mean it's their most well-known record it's their biggest seller how much had the most hits how much do you know about super tramp i don't know that much about i know i know super tramp songs but i never paid that much attention to them do you know enough to tell me are they a california band Are they a California band? They are – no, they're from London.
speaker_1HOST
Oh, never mind then.
speaker_1HOST
Okay.
speaker_2HOST
In the eye of the storm, his first solo record is fantastic, which is...
speaker_2HOST
Very interesting, considering that I don't like Super Tramp sounds.
speaker_2HOST
But at least, if nothing else, you got their biggest record, Breakfast in America.
speaker_2HOST
It included four singles, including two of their biggest ones, The Logical Song and Take the Long Way Home.
speaker_1UNKNOWN

Dave GwilliamHOST
And what it does with that waiting is the entire point of today's Side 1.
Dave GwilliamHOST
We've had Supertramp in the conversation before, particularly Breakfast in America.
Dave GwilliamHOST
But this isn't another argument about the hits or which side is strongest.
Dave GwilliamHOST
I'm pulling out a different Supertramp record because I want to ask a question about the very first seconds of a piece of music.
Nathan BeaudryHOST
Engineer Angelo Arcuri ran the multi-track tape so I could hear exactly where the solo was meant to begin, and after a pass or two suggested that I play along just to get a feel for it.
Nathan BeaudryHOST
I was standing at my keyboard behind Ronnie, who was seated at the console with Angelo to his right at the legendary Village Recorders at Studio D, the same studio and recording console famously used for the record to record Steely Dan's Asia, Super Tramp's Breakfast in America, and the Rolling Stones' Goat Head Soup.
Nathan BeaudryHOST
I nodded to Angelo, and after he'd rewound the tape, that I was ready, and the track started playing once again through the huge soffit-mounted studio monitors.
Nathan BeaudryHOST
I played along to the track as Angelo had suggested, wondering when Ronnie would finally offer some commentary about what he'd been listening to for the past 10 or 15 minutes.
Ashley PageHOST
Okay, Super Tramp.
Ashley PageHOST
