Formed in 1972, 10cc were at once commercial, at once strange – Described as the ‘missing link between the Beatles and Blur’, it was rare to have four talented writers, singers and multi-instrumentalists all under one roof; but in Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Lol Creme and Kevin Godley, 10cc had just that – They released some of the most inventive and elaborate pop music ever to emerge from Britain.
1978’s Bloody Tourists contains one of the group’s most well-loved singles, “Dreadlock Holiday”. The song, with its infectious reggae beat took the group back to the UK No. 1 spot in 1978. Like many of their biggest hits, it remains a staple of radio programming and its parent album plays well.
This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1978 Mercury Records UK release with legendary Hipgnosis-designed gatefold sleeve and printed inner and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.
