10CC BLOODY TOURISTS JAPAN TREMENDOUSLY RARE JAPAN REPLICA AUDIOPHILE OBI CD This is a Japanese Rare re-mastered Mini LP replica Limited Edition Collection CD – LAST COPY FOREVER WHAT IS A JAPAN "MINI-LP-SLEEVE" CD? Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century's great art forms, the 12" vinyl LP jacket? Then "mini-LP-sleeve" CD's may be for you. Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics. Then, there's the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering (20-Bit, 24-Bit, DSD, K2/K2HD, and/or HDCD), and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere. Each Japan mini-sleeve has an "obi" ("oh-bee"), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album's release date. Bonus tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi's are collectible, and should not be discarded. All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we've mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100's of dollars apiece 10cc's "Bloody Tourists" was originally released in September of 1978 -- this was the follow up to 1977's "Deceptive Bends", & it was the second 10cc record without Godley & Creme who left the group in 1976 & continued to work as duo. Certainly their departure had a big impact on 10cc--they contributed largely to the songwriting & overall sound of the group. However, the other 2 original 10cc members, Eric Stewart & Graham Gouldman, were extremely talented dudes in their own right, and they're basically running the show on here, and the result is a brilliant album. I realize that this album is typically considered a disappointment compared to "Deceptive Bends", the first album without Godley & Creme, but it's actually quite the opposite--Stewart & Gouldman were considerably off their game on "Deceptive Bends", but here they bounced back in a big way, & 10cc's work would remain consistently strong/ brilliant until their initial breakup in 1983/ 1984, making this album quite a bit like a rebirth for them. Rick Fenn, Stuart Tosh, Duncan Mackay, & Paul Burgess were additional band members at this point, but apart from "Dreadlock Holiday" (as well as its non-LP b-side "Nothing Can Move Me", included here as a bonus track) which is credited as having been produced by the whole group, the entire album was produced by Stewart & Gouldman, & also, between the two of them, they were responsible for all of the songwriting apart from just a few co-writes from other members.
