简介:  An expanded version of the conventional 13 song It Was The Best Of Times compilation, this two CD set packs on eight further selections from Supertramp's 20 (at that point) career, still eschewing their first two LPs, without really adding anything to the portrait painted by the slimmer edition. "Rudy" was always one of Crime Of The Century's more overwrought and, therefore, dispensable, inclusions, while neither "It's A Hard World", "Give Me A Chance" "Downstream" or "Don't You Lie To Me" are exactly the band at their scintillating best. Thankfully, "Ain't Nobody But Me" and "Another Man's Woman" do capture Supertramp at their quirky finest, while the addition of the closing "Crime Of The Century" remedies one of the original compilation's most alarming omissions.
