Supertramp (1970/1986) A&M Records - A&M 393 149-2 Germany

Supertramp were one of the first groups to be signed to the UK branch of A&M Records and their first album, Supertramp, was released on 14 August 1970. Stylistically, the album was fairly typical of progressive rock of the era. Palmer left the band in December 1970, followed by Millar in January 1971, who had suffered a nervous breakdown.

For the next album, Indelibly Stamped, released in June 1971 in both the UK and US. Frank Farrell (bass, keyboards, backing vocals) joined, while Hodgson switched to guitar and Davies served as a second lead singer. With Palmer's departure, Hodgson and Davies wrote and composed separately for this and the band's subsequent albums. The record sold even less than their debut. In the aftermath, all members gradually quit except Hodgson and Davies.
