Davies from circa 1910. The first two albums are financed by the wealthy Dutch businessman Sam Miesegaes and are not very successful. On the debut album is not yet the well-known Supertramp-sound can be heard, but the song write qualities of Davies and Hodgson. After the first and the second plate are all band members-on Davies and Hodgson after-replaced. Indelibly Stamped in England still has some turmoil caused by the tattooed bare breasts on the front. In the United States was an expurgated version on the market, in which two stickers in the form of gold stars on the breasts were stuck.

Come In 1973 John Helliwell (wind instruments and vocals), Dougie Thomson (bass guitar) and Bob Siebenberg (sometimes listed as Bob c. Benberg) (percussion) joined the Group and they make the LP Crime of the Century. This album was dedicated to Miesegaes. The plate is produced by Ken Scott and great lengths for the recordings is time.This produces a plate on with a very good sound quality and many sound effects. The plate sounds like one whole, making it appear as if it were a concept LP is. In England is a toptienhit and the single Dreamer Gets the album number 1. The number is In Netherlands School for years in the Top 100 of all time.

''Crisis? What Crisis?'' is made under any time pressure and falls in first instance against. Though touring Supertramp in 1975 and 1976 by Europe and the United Statessuccessfully.

They score In Netherlands with Give a Little Bit in 1977 the first hit and the LP Even In The Quietest Moments on number 1. This album was made to a large extent on a mountaintop somewhere in Colorado. Through the thin air were the voices of the singers there, what else. John Helliwell couldn't play more on his sax. This part is therefore included in Los Angeles. Highlight of this album is the ten-minute and half instrumental fool's Overture .

After the artistic highlight with Crime of the Century follows the commercial peak in 1979 with Breakfast In America. The Logical Song Breakfast In America and do well as a single. The shorter and more pop-oriented songs are by a larger audience appreciated. On this record is also good to hear that Davies and Hodgson no longer together compose, but that each half of the repertoire writes and sings. Davies takes care of the serious and level-headed, dromerigere, Hodgson has a more lighthearted than usual numbers approach.'''

Of the concerts in Paris in november 1979, the double LP Paris.

On Famous Last Words is the separation between Davies and Hodgson to hear even better. The creativity is there a little off and after an extensive world tour in 1983 Hodgson keeps it quits to pursue a solo career. In 1984 he scores a hit with Had A Dream (sleeping With The Enemy) of the album In The Eye Of The Storm.

Brother Where You Bound is the first plate without Hodgson and the latest from the glory years of Supertramp. The plate sounds more rhythmically and less symphonic.Cannonball is the most successful number. In the anti-Soviet song Brother Where You Bound plays Pink Floyd 's David Gilmour the guitar parts.

Free As A Birdappears In 1987. Plays on this album Crowded House 's Mark Hart for the first time; He writes along with Davies the number Where I Stand. Free As A Bird and finally to Live ' 88 show that Supertramp on obscurity. The rift enthusiasm and creativity. The sales figures confirm this image. Curious fact is that the single I'm Beggin' You the number 1 position in the u.s. dancecharts.

In 1990 the compilation The Very Best Of the number-one position in Netherlands and is still in the charts School from 1974.
