ALBUM NOTES: ..................................

........................................ Description : A Beautiful Copy Of This Audiophile Classic . A Prize Of Great Music And Great Sound, A Truly Breathtaking Addition To Any Vinyl Library . Here Half-Speed Production And Mastering By Original Mastering Works . Specially Plated And Pressed On High Definition Super Virgin Vinyl By Victor Company Of Japan,
Ltd . Comes With Insert Included .   ..................

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Supertramp: Roger Hodgson (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Rick Davies (vocals, keyboards); John A. Helliwell (woodwinds); Dougie Thomson (bass); Bob C. Benberg (drums).
Additional personnel: "Slide" Hyde (trombone, tuba); Gary Mielke (synthesizer programming).
Recorded at the Village Recorder, Los Angeles, California. ................
Often forgotten, and when finally remembered it is usually for the often tedious, but huge-selling Crime Of The Century. This record cuts away the pomp and keeps it comparatively simple with some memorable pop songs and lyrics, for example, in the title track a simple statement, 'take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I've got', or the ridiculously simple rhymes in 'The Logical Song', and the painful truth of 'Goodbye Stranger' and 'Take The Long Way Home', which are further irritatingly catchy songs. Sadly Supertramp were not able to build on this excellent collection although they still have a loyal following. ..............................................

  ........SUPERTRAMP_BREAKFAST IN AMERICA_LP_AUDIOPHILE_MOBILE FIDELITY 1-045_ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING _HALF-SPEED MASTERED_OUT OF PRINT ........

Originally released by A & M Records in 1979, this out of print Original Master Recording issued by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has been half-speed mastered for LP from original source master tape and was specially plated and pressed on high definition super vinyl. The LP is enclosed inside of a special anti-static sleeve and housed inside of super heavy duty protective packaging. ........

This is an essential addition to any serious audiophile’s LP collection. ........

"…a textbook-perfect album of post-Beatles, keyboard-centered English art rock that strikes the shrewdest possible balance between quasi-symphonic classicism and rock & roll ... the songs here are extraordinarily melodic and concisely structured." – Stephen Holden, Rolling Stone Magazine ........

In his review for All Music Guide, contributor Stephen Thomas Erlewine lauded the album's "tightly written, catchy, well-constructed pop songs" and described it as the band's "high-water mark". ........

BBC Music’s John Doran opines that the songwriting has "an unbeatable quality" and asserted that "any of the ten tracks could have been hit singles." ........

This long out of print Original Master Recording LP pressing for "Breakfast In America" has been rarely handled and played even less. The faithfully reproduced album jacket shows little wear. The loose shrink-wrap was retained and opened at the jacket’s opening to allow access to the enclosed out of print LP while keeping the album cover’s nice store-bought gleam. The enclosed MFSL half-speed mastered vinyl LP is in immaculate condition. .....................

 ................. The until-recently-defunct "Mobile Fidelity Labs" audiophile album vinyl pressings were not only analogue, audiophile masterpieces and connoisseur delights, they have become true pieces of audio history and lore. These majestic recordings received a meticulous and laborious treatment like no other recordings in the entire history of the recorded sound. They are characterized by the massively extended dynamic and frequency range, mastering from the very first generation of original master tapes, almost compulsive attention paid to the detail and integrity of the pressing, and the highest quality of the material (only the "virgin-", audiophile-grade vinyl was used, and most of the titles were pressed by RCA/Victor and/or Warner-Pioneer corporations of Japan, both known for their near-obsessive attention paid to the fine sonic detail and audio craftsmanship); a special proprietary technology was used to achieve analogue-like, warm, translucent, radiant, vivid and all-encompassing sound. To this day, many of these recordings remain unsurpassed, delivering music reproduction as close to the actual recording session as possible, without any loss of musical information inherent in the standard practice of mastering from the inferior "production" copies. EVER SINCE THE MOBILE FIDELITY SOUND LABS TEMPORARILY CLOSED IN DECEMBER OF 1999 (ONLY TO REOPEN IN 2003), THESE RECORDINGS HAVE BEEN ESCALATING IN VALUE AND DEMAND. ..................................
