Crisis? What Crisis? was written and recorded in arguably the busiest period of the band's career and released just 13 months after Crime of the Century. Now regarded by many as the bridge from their earlier prog records to their more commercially successful period, Crisis? What Crisis? is a significant and vital part of the band's musical journey.

With oversight of the band and co-producer Ken Scott, this 50th anniversary reissue has been remastered at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios giving the 1974 album greater detail and the best possible clarity.
