NotesLimited SACD hybrid pressing. Supertramp's Breakfast in America has it all: Illustrious artwork. Sing-a-long hooks. Contagious melodies. Symphonic bluster. Rhapsodic thrust. Signature Wurlitzer electric piano sounds. Two Grammy Awards, including one for Best Engineered Album. More than 20 million copies sold. Four Billboard hit singles that continue to dominate radio airplay today. Every aspect of the chart-topping art-rock set screams blockbuster, not the least of which is the production, the result of painstaking studio setups and months of mixing. Indeed, aside from the undeniably catchy nature of the ten tracks, fun remains the most central element of Breakfast in America. The band even titled the record to fall in line with the overall joyful feeling of the material. Home to a quartet of commercial staples - 'The Logical Song,' 'Goodbye Stranger,' 'Take the Long Way Home,' and the title track - Breakfast in America teems with arena-sized drama, meticulous craftsmanship, and mesmerizing refrains. Shrewd lyrical turns abound, whether on the phonetic, adjective-stacked 'The Logical Song,' life-in-America portrait 'Child of Vision,' or move-to-L.A. saga 'Gone Hollywood.' U.S. references also dot the smash title track, which reflects the glib humor, romantic fantasies, and pop culture permeating the record. Breakfast in America also retains it's vitality because of it's expert instrumentation and placement. Deemed a 'a textbook-perfect album of post-Beatles, keyboard-centered English art rock that strikes the shrewdest possible balance between quasi-symphonic classicism and rock 'n' roll' by Rolling Stone shortly after it's release, the record serves as a blueprint of reference-setting production and mixing. Check the scorching guitar outro on 'Goodbye Stranger,' gospel accents on 'Lord Is It Mine,' saxophone lines on 'Take the Long Way Home,' or chemistry of the choruses on basically every piece here. It's enough to make one long for the '70s again.

  • Would Buy again. Great to have if you can't use the MOFI Record anymore.

    It sounds great and made a good replacement for my mobile fidelity record that I gave to my son. Comes in cool sleeve just like an LP. Gold disc, etc. great product.

  • Fantastic!

    I’ve never been a fan of Supertramp until I ran across breakfast in America while I did research on the available selections of SACD recordings. First id like to mention the melodies on this album are very interesting and complex. A real treat to an audiophiles equipment. The mastering is done very well;which very few artists can claim about their own recordings. If you enjoy this album,,get it in an SACD format. You will definitely enjoy it.

  • Supertramp for Breakfast on SACD

    I put off buying this on SACD for quite a while thinking my old CD sounded just fine. Glad I came to my senses and bought this disc from MFSL. Immediately I heard a difference as if a veil had been lifted from my ears and speakers. I'm keeping my CD for old times sake (I've had it since 1988) but I doubt that it will ever be played again. This MFSL of Supertramp - Breakfast In America on SACD is my preferred way to hear this album. Highly Recommended.

  • Not 5.1

    Will not play in 5.1 like other SACDs. Stereo only but still sounds great, just not what I was wanting.

  • A classic!

    This remastering is quite good and soars on an excellent system. SACD is no were near a dead format so pick it up while you still can.
