Breakfast in America

Supertramp

Nimbus Supercut Audiophile LP, from the original master tapes for A & M AMLK63708

With Breakfast in America, Supertramp had a genuine blockbuster hit, topping the charts for four weeks in the U.S. and selling millions of copies worldwide; by the 1990s, the album had sold over 18 million units across the world. The majority of the album consists of tightly written, catchy, well-constructed pop songs, like the hits "The Logical Song," "Take the Long Way Home," and "Goodbye Stranger." Breakfast in America has very few weak moments. It is clearly their high-water mark.

Nimbus is a small British company with a reputation for consistent quality in record pressing. Nimbus Supercut releases were mastered from the the original master tapes, through an all tube mastering process, using no limiting, to result in a high quality pressing which was as close as possible in sound to the original recording. This album is from a small production run (around 1000) specifically produced for the UK magazine “Practical Hi-Fi” (later re-named as “Hi-Fi Today”) in the early 80’s, and is therefore somewhat rare. Nimbus supercut discs are generally accepted as sonically superior to similar Mobile Fidelity (MFSL) recordings.

The track listing for this LP is as follows:-

Gone Hollywood

The Logical Song

Vinyl grading is usually based on the Goldmine standard and is as follows:

“SS” Still Sealed – For the collector that demands nothing but perfection.

“M” Mint - a near perfect, or unplayed record.

“NM” Near Mint - in factory fresh condition, like new.

EX+ - close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Will satisfy all but the most vain and demanding collector.

EX - a used, reasonable copy. Shows slight signs of wear.

VG+ - There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility a few skuffs and/or light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.

VG - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise,still plays great.

Good - In the record world, "Good" is not good! From here on down, we're talking about beat-up records!
