You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

Bloody Tourists is the 6th studio album by the English rock band 10cc, released worldwide by Mercury Records and in North America by Polydor Records in September 1978. Recorded at Strawberry Studios South in Dorking, the album was produced by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman.
The album is the first 10cc studio album to feature the band as a six piece. The new lineup was already assembled for the tour in support of the band's previous album, Deceptive Bends, but changing Tony O'Malley for Duncan Mackay on the keyboards. The band was solidified with songwriting and lead vocals contributions from other members than the core duo of Stewart and Gouldman. It was also the first 10cc album to feature songs written separately by Stewart and Gouldman.
The cover art was created by Hipgnosis with graphics by George Hardie and shows a map being blown into someone's face. The cover was also the first to feature the longtime 10cc logo with a star inside the zero.
