Supertramp 樂團成立於 1969 年,1974 年憑藉專輯《世紀罪案》(Crime of the Century)取得商業突破,並成為 20 世紀七八十年代最受歡迎的英國樂團之一。專輯中的熱門歌曲《Bloody Well Right》由戴維斯先生用沃利舍電鋼琴開場,而他對沃利舍電鋼琴的運用也成為了樂隊音樂的標誌性特徵。
The album was named after the final song, "Crime of the Century", which the band members felt was the strongest song on the album.[11] The phrase “Crime of the Century” is a sensationalist trope which has been applied to various notorious crimes in history. Its application to more than one crime per century speaks to its hyperbolic nature.[15]
