ndelibly Stamped is the second album by progressive rock band Supertramp, released in 1971 (see 1971 in music). Like their debut, this album was a commercial disappointment. Original editions have a colour gate-fold cover and different text for the band name and album title. The cover photograph features the tattooed torso and arms of a woman. This is the first Supertramp album issued in the US; the cover was in colour (in 1971), but A&M pasted two gold stars over the nipples.
The cover depicts the tattooed torso and arms of a woman. It is commonly believed that the model for the cover was Rusty Skuse, largely due to a tattoo on the left arm which names "Bill" and "Rusty", however a comparison between the album cover and photographs of Skuse's tattoos show that this is not the case. According to Paul Sayce, writing in Tattoo News, the model was Marion Hollier, who was extensively tattooed at the Les Skeuse Tattoo Studio in the 1960s.[1] An article published in The People shortly after the album's release also identifies Hollier as the model, noting that she was paid ?45 for the job.
Roger Hodgson later said Indelibly Stamped was "the survival album to put ourselves back in the good books of our manager. There was no theme worked out for the album and we were floundering."[2] New members Kevin Currie, Frank Farrell, and Dave Winthrop were all recruited shortly before the recording sessions.[2]
Supporting tours for the album began with a series of shows at the P.N. Club in Munich, which had been the site for Supertramp's first public performances. Rick Davies described their stage show at the time as "all Rock and Roll really. We used to get people up on the bloody stage and it was just chaos, hopping away doing about three encores, but there was meat and potatoes behind it. No more or less people would come to the next gig."
