Roger Hodgson: In The Eye Of The Storm (half-speed master, 180g) [A&M]

Why you'll love it

This pressing was half-speed mastered at Abbey Road Studios and cut on 180g vinyl. It's the first solo album from Supertramp's high-voiced co-founder, home to the hit "Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)", and it went platinum in Canada within a month.

This edition

• Half-speed mastered at Abbey Road Studios
• 180g vinyl
• Seven tracks, as on the 1984 LP

About the album

Roger Hodgson wrote and sang many of Supertramp's best-loved songs, and after he left the band he went off and made this largely by himself. A couple of its songs, "Hooked On A Problem" and "Only Because Of You", had first been written for Supertramp's ...Famous Last Words... but never used, which gives the album a familiar warmth even as it heads somewhere more personal.

"Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)" was the lead single and reached number 48 on the Hot 100, and "In Jeopardy" made the US rock chart top 30. In the States the album stalled at number 46; Canada, sensibly, made it platinum inside a month, and "Lovers In The Wind" became a hit as far away as Argentina and the Philippines. The rest of the world is still catching up with us, as usual.
