''Crime of the Century'' is the third Album by Progressive Rock band Supertramp , released in 1974 (see 1974 In Music ).

''Crime of the Century'' was Supertramp's first album with its classic lineup and co-producer Ken Scott.

The album was recorded at a number of studios including Ramport Studios (owned by The Who) and Trident Studios.

Many of the songs on the album are still staples of the band's shows ("School", "Bloody Well Right", "Rudy" and the title cut). Almost all of the album appears on the band's 1980 live album ''Paris'' although the tracks which featured orchestrations on the original Crime album ("Asylum", "Rudy", and "Crime of the Century") were replaced by string synthesizers or Oberheim synthesizers which were played mainly by John Helliwell with some help from Roger Hodgson.
