You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Crisis? What Crisis? is the fourth album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in 1975. It was recorded in Los Angeles and London – Supertramp's first album to have recording done in the US.
Having achieved commercial success with Crime of the Century, the pressure was on for Supertramp to deliver a followup album as soon as possible. Hodgson was unhappy with the album, describing it as a rushed job with none of the cohesion of Crime of the Century. Bassist Dougie Thomson concurred: "We thought that the Crisis album was a little bit disjointed and the band as a whole at that time didn't really like the album."
In the mid-1980s, however, Roger Hodgson called it his favorite Supertramp album.
Both the title and the concept of the cover were conceived by Davies who came up with the name Crisis? What Crisis? and came in with this sketch of a guy in a deck chair under an umbrella with all this chaos going on around him.
