Talk:Crime of the Century (album)

message: Does anyone here know why producer Ken Scott would playback the tape of the harmonica intro from "School" before the song "Crime of the Century" fades out?
This is more evident on the live version Supertramp did in November 1979 in Paris. After all the synthesizers die down, you can clearly hear the opening harmonica intro to the studio version of "School."

replies: text: Another question relating to the same song; is it supported by sources that it is supposed to be a collaboration between Rick and Roger? Because Roger never listed it as such on his website, and his objection to the "Paris" DVD was that the writers weren't listed. The version that was finally approved by him had "School" listed in mixed colours to indicate it as a collaboration, but not "Crime of the Century" - which indicates that he doesn't claim a credit for it.

message: The Personnel section is currently unsourced. Here's an image of the original back cover  with the instrument credits. Here's a typical list of personnel. Where have all the additions/ embellishments come from? Particularly the synthesizers? This review specifically says this: " Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:32, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Good spot... I think they may have used a tiny bit of synth here and there. Here is a site that says Davies played Moog on School (the low drone intro?), Hide in Your Shell and Rudy, plus string synth on Hide in Your Shell. However that info may well come from an earlier version of this wikipage... Jules TH 16 (talk) 16:44, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it's probably likely, as the original cover credits Davies with "keyboards". But I would have expected some more obviously reliable source(s), maybe even a book source. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:56, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
