The meat of the moment, however, arrives with "Land Ho," the first vinyl manifestation of the so-called "classic" 'tramp lineup, and a lost 45 from early 1974. A completist's eye for affairs does permit the first two albums to enjoy a quick look-in, with one song apiece and similar treatment is meted out to the seven albums that took the band through the '80s and beyond. Certainly Retrospectacle has no problem with that scenario. Few listeners, after all, would disagree that their prime period encompassed the mere six or so years that divided Crime of the Century (their third album) from Breakfast in America (their sixth), and that the pile of vinyl on either side of that is more or less padding. Considering their career spanned close to 30 years, it's amazing how condensed most people's vision of Supertramp has become.
