Oh

I'm not really familiar with thier discography but I consider Crime of the century a masterpiece.

I think most people think it’s a Masterpiece not just for the music but also for the outstanding album cover artwork .
I saw them do it live the first time at Hammersmith Odeon in 1974
Also saw them do Crisis What Crisis there.
A little known Joan Armatrading was the support act .
She had too wait until July 1976 to become a household name
I have many vinyl copies of all there albums but this is my most played.

Years ago a British TV show called TFI Friday on Chanel 4 hosted by Chris Evens wanted to be the first to run a competition and give away a million £.
It ran over a few weeks and was down to two people .The money question was ?
What was on the piano on this album cover Mud or Snow ? The bloke answered Mud

Given that I really like crime of the century, which record should I listen next, in your opinion?

Listen to them in order of release would be my advice

Sad news.

I still listen to Breakfast in America front to back at least once a year. My dad played it on vinyl when I was a kid and it's been embedded into my brain. Fantastic album

@HotRats Breakfast in America is my vote

Breakfast In America was my introduction to the band, and I still listen to them when I'm working in my wood shop.
