Supertramp is the self-titled debut album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in July 1970. It has sometimes been published under the title Now and Then.<\/p>\n
It was not released in the United States until late 1977, but available through importers and was usually carried in record stores that specialised in British imports. The 1977 issue reached No. 158 on the US Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
The critical response to the album was generally positive, with a review by Judith Simons in Daily Express commenting: “This debut record album by a group of promising musician-poets is rather more melodic than most discs which pass under the label ‘progressive pop.'” Despite this, the album was a commercial flop.<\/p>\n
In their retrospective review, Allmusic said the album was “inundated with pretentious instrumental meandering, with greater emphasis and attention granted to the keyboards and guitars than to the writing and to the overall effluence of the music.” However, they admitted that the album’s “mixture of ardour and subtlety” is appealing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
