SUPERTRAMP - BREAKFAST IN AMERICA - Vinyl Record - HHR00942 VG
This record was recorded by Supertramp the British rock band that formed in London in 1970. Initially a prog-rock group, they began moving towards a more pop-oriented sound with their third album in 974 and the band reached their commercial peak mid to late 70s. As of 2007, Supertramp album sales exceeded 60 million. They attained significant popularity in North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia. Their highest sales levels were in Canada, where they had two diamond-certified (ten-times platinum) albums (Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America), and their only number 1 singles anywhere ("The Logical Song" and "Dreamer").
Breakfast in America is their sixth studio album, released on 29 March 1979. It was recorded in 1978 at The Village Recorder in Los Angeles. It spawned three US Billboard hit singles: The Logical Song (No. 6), Goodbye Stranger (No. 15), and Take the Long Way Home (No. 10). In the UK, "The Logical Song" and the title track were both top 10 hits, the only two the group had in their native country. At the 1980 Grammys, Breakfast in America won two awards for Best Album Package and Best Engineered Non-Classical Recording, as well as nominations for Album of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. It holds an RIAA certification of quadruple platinum and became Supertramp's biggest-selling album, with more than 4 million copies sold in the US and more than 3 million in France (the fourth ever best-selling album). It was No. 1 on Billboard Pop Album Charts for six weeks, until 30 June 1979. The album also hit No. 1 in Norway, Austria, West Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Australia and France.
