A well preserved copy of the bands 2nd album. This is the rare South African pressing. The cover art was deemed too risqué for the South African public so the album's title ‘Indelibly Stamped’ was printed in large Stencil Font across the top half of the models torso obscuring her breasts.

“Indelibly Stamped” is the second album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in 1971. It marked a dramatic change in direction to a more straightforward rock sound, and by admission of the band's own liner notes, "Travelled" is the only song with any resemblance to their debut album. Like their debut, this album was a commercial failure upon release; however, in later decades it went gold in France and Canada. 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 topless woman. This is the first Supertramp album issued in the U.S.; the cover was in colour (in 1971), but A&M pasted two gold stars over the nipples.
