Overview

In North America, Slow Motion was only available via mail-order from the band's website, released on their own label.

The song "Goldrush" was actually written in the early 1970s under the first Supertramp line-up, and was used as the opening number in all their shows prior to Crime of the Century.[1] The band had tried to record it on several previous occasions, but had never before been able to recreate it in the studio to their satisfaction.[1]

Allmusic[2]

Allmusic wrote that the songs and blending of styles are brilliant, but that what would otherwise have been an outstanding album was spoiled by shoddy production.[2]
