SUPERTRAMP - 'DREAMER' (Ian Stone's 2024 Remixed & Extended 'Ultimate' Version)

AWESOME CLASSIC PROG ROCK TRACK HERE FROM 1974 CALLED 'DREAMER' WHICH WAS RECORDED AND RELEASED BY THE LEGENDARY ROCK BALLAD GROUP CALLED 'SUPERTRAMP'.THIS ALL-TIME FAVOURITE EPIC SONG FEATURED ON THEIR WORLDWIDE SUCCESSFUL THIRD STUDIO ALBUM CALLED 'CRIME OF THE CENTURY' THAT WAS IN 1974 ORIGINALLY PUT OUT ON THE LEGENDARY 'A&M RECORDS' LABEL GLOBALLY.HAVING FORMED BACK IN EARLY 1970 THE LONDON BASED GROUP CALLED 'SUPERTRAMP' ALREADY HAD ENOUGH DEMO TRACKS TOGETHER TO ENTER THE STUDIO WITH THAT THEY HAD BEEN SO VIGOROUSLY WORKING ON AND IN AUGUST OF 1970 THEY MANAGED TO RELEASE THEIR DEBUT SELF TITLED L.P. HERE IN THE U.K. SIMPLY CALLED 'SUPERTRAMP' ALSO KNOWN AS 'AND I'M NOT LIKE OTHER' ON IT'S FIRST PRESSINGS THROUGHOUT THE EUROPEAN MARKET.THERE WAS A SINGLE TAKEN OFF OF IT THAT REALLY DID NOTHING CHARTWISE AT ALL ON IT'S ORIGINAL RELEASE IT WAS CALLED 'SHADOW SONG' BUT IT DID REACH THE EARS OF THE GROWING PROGRESSIVE ROCK SCENE ESPECIALLY OVER HERE IN ENGLAND AT THE START OF THE SEVENTIES DECADE.OVERALL THE BAND RELEASED A GRAND TOTAL OF ELEVEN GREAT ALBUMS FROM 1970 THROUGH UNTIL 2002 AND APPROX SIXTEEN SINGLE RELEASES PUT OUT AS WELL DURING THIS PERIOD FOR THE GROUP.THE 1974 L.P. 'CRIME OF THE CENTURY' DID HAVE TWO GREAT SINGLE RELEASES ON IT THEY WERE THE EXCELLENT ROCK BALLED TRACK CALLED 'SCHOOL' AND THEN FOLLOWING ON FROM IT THE TUNE CALLED 'BLOODY WELL RIGHT' THAT ACTUALLY DID DENT THE DUTCH POP CHARTS OF ALL PLACES AT THAT TIME BUT NOT OVER HERE IN ENGLAND UNFORTUNATELY.BUT OF COURSE THE GROUP HAD IT'S MOST COMMERCIALY SUCCESSFUL BREAKTHROUGH WITH THE 1979 ALBUM CALLED 'BREAKFAST IN AMERICA' THAT SAW SINGLES INCLUDING THE BRILLIANT SONG CALLED 'TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME' AND POSSIBLY THEIR BEST KNOWN TRACK OF THEIR CAREER THE MIGHTY 'LOGICAL SONG'.THE LATER SONG SHOT UP THE BBC/GALLOP CHART TO THE NUMBER FOUR POSITION AND WHEN RELEASED ACROSS EUROPE IT ALSO MANAGED TO ENTER VARIOUS POP CHARTS VERY HIGH AND OF COURSE IT HIT THE TOP OF THE ALTERNATIVE PROG ROCK CHARTS WORLDWIDE AS WELL AT THAT POINT IN TIME.NOW BETWEEN THE 1974 ALBUM AND THIS CLASSIC 1979 L.P. THE BAND DID HAVE A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR CHART SUCCESSES GLOBALLY NAMELY THE COOL ROCK BALLAD IN 1975 CALLED 'SISTER MOONSHINE' TAKEN OFF THE L.P. CALLED 'CRISIS ? WHAT CRISIS ?' AND THE MUCH ACCLAIMED TRACK FROM 1977 CALLED 'GIVE A LITTLE BIT' THAT WAS RELEASED FROM THEIR MUCH ACCLAIMED THESE DAYS FIFTH PROG ROCK STYLED STUDIO RELEASED ALBUM CALLED 'EVEN IN THE QUIETEST MOMENTS' HITTING THE LOWER REACHES OF THE U.K. POP CHART I THINK IT WAS AROUND THE NUMBER SIXTY EIGHT POSITION.THE MEMBERS OF THE BAND CALLED 'SUPERTRAMP' DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS HAVE ON A VERY REGULAR BASIS CHANGED BUT HERE THEN ARE THE GROUP MEMBERS IN 1974 AT THE TIME OF THE SONG 'DREAMER' BEING RELEASED TO THE WORLD AT LARGE.THEY WERE THE FANTASTIC LEAD VOCALS AT THAT TIME BY 'RICK DAVIES' ALONG WITH THE SUPERB BACKGROUND HARMONIES AND LEAD GUITAR PLAYING BY 'ROGER HODGSON'.THE BRILLIANT SAXOPHONE AND KEYBOARD PARTS WERE SUPPLIED BY THE GREAT ARTIST 'JOHN ANTHONY HELLIWELL' AND THAT AMAZING DRUMMING WAS BY THE LATE GREAT ARTIST CALLED 'BOB SIEBENBERG'.THE BASS PLAYING AT THE TIME IN 1974 WAS BY THE VERY EXCELLENTLY TALENTED ARTIST CALLED 'DOUGIE THOMSON'.AS ALREADY STATED THERE WERE A LOT OF PERSONEL CHANGES WITHIN THE 'SUPERTRAMP' LINE UPS DOWN THE YEARS AND MANY SESSION PEOPLE WERE USED TO GREAT EFFECT FAR TOO MANY TO NAME CHECK HERE NOW.RIGHT WELL THAT'S THE HISTORY LESSON COMPLETED FOR TODAY NOW LET'S LISTEN TO THE EXCELLENT TRACK NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN EXTENDED AND REMIXED BY 'IAN STONE'.HE HAS ALSO RIGHT HERE ENHANCED THE WHOLE TRACK CALLED 'DREAMER' NOW TOTALLY UP TO TODAY'S 2024 HQ REMASTERED STEREO SOUND STANDARD READY FOR AUDIENCES TO EITHER HEAR FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME HERE OR MAYBE JUST TO MARVEL AT THE TUNE ONE MORE TIME AT YOUR LEISURE.
