The song would later provide the title track for Michael Ball's 2014 album of the same name. The album was named after the final song, ""Crime of the Century"", which the band members felt was the strongest song on the album. Shortly after his departure from Supertramp, Hodgson commented: ""I've had more people come up to me and say that that song touched them more deeply than any other."
"as their lifestyles and musical inclinations saw less and less overlap. Their songwriting partnership gradually dissolved; though all of Supertramp's songs would continue to be officially credited as ""written by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson"", most of them were written by Davies or Hodgson individually. Supertramp needed a hit record to continue working, and finally got one with ""Crime of the Century"". Released in September 1974, it began the group's run of critical and commercial successes, hitting number 4 in Britain, number 38 in the US, and number 4 in Canada. This album would make the top 100 albums in"

Though their singles were only moderately successful, their albums consistently scored high in the charts. Davies's relationship with Hodgson had begun to deteriorate, and the two began writing most of their songs separately again, though they agreed to have them all credited to Davies/Hodgson by contract. Among the songs credited to Davies/Hodgson but actually written solely by Davies are the hits ""Bloody Well Right"" and ""Goodbye Stranger""."
"than 200,000 music fans, saw ""Crime of the Century"" voted among the all-time top 1000 albums, and it was listed in the 2005 book ""1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die"". In 2015, it was chosen as the 27th greatest progressive rock album by ""Rolling Stone"". Paul Elliott of ""Classic Rock"" magazine called it a progressive rock masterpiece. Many of the songs on the album remained staples of the band's shows well into the 21st century (""School"", ""Bloody Well Right"", ""Rudy"", and the title song). Almost all of the album appears on the band's 1980 live album ""Paris"" although"

"with ""Crime of the Century"" (1974), the pressure was on for Supertramp to deliver a followup, and the record company pushed them to begin work as soon as the touring for ""Crime of the Century"" was finished. While touring the west coast of North America, Supertramp unintentionally gained extra time: Hodgson injured his hand, forcing the band to cancel the rest of the tour and leaving them with nothing better to do than work on the album. Despite this, the band still had no time to rehearse for the album, and much like ""Indelibly Stamped"" (1971), songwriters Rick Davies and"

The label's biggest success at this time was Pink Floyd's ""The Dark Side of the Moon"" (1973) when it was re-issued in the Original Master Recording series in 1979.

The song begins with Rick Davies playing a Wurlitzer electric piano 51-second piano solo, leading into the rest of the band joining in. There is then a guitar solo played by Roger Hodgson, making use of the wah-wah pedal, leading in the first sung word at the 1:38 mark in the song.

"Roger Hodgson stated that ""Rudy"" was the character on the album and was seen as somewhat autobiographical of Rick Davies' life at the time. Hodgson and Davies both stated that communication within the group was at a peak during the recording of this album, while drummer Siebenberg stated that he thought it was this album on which the band hit its ""artistic peak"".
