Slow Motion (Supertramp album)

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, by original guitarist Richard Palmer-James, 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] While the album credits the song to Davies and Palmer-James only, Roger Hodgson supposedly co-wrote it.^[2]
