The Tourists

Although in retrospect, the Vacationers are seen nearly entirely mainly because the music group Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were in before they shaped Eurythmics, the Scottish group was actually even more of a display for singer, guitarist, and major songwriter Peet Coombes, who had 1st caused Stewart inside a folk duo in the first ’70s. Adding Stewart’s sweetheart Lennox on vocals and periodic keyboards, the brand new trio dubbed themselves Capture and released a unitary, “Black Bloodstream,” for the Logo design label in 1977. Adding bassist Eddie Chin and drummer Jim Toomey, the group re-christened themselves the Vacationers and released their 1st recording, The Vacationers, in 1978. A follow-up, 1979’s Actuality Effect, obtained a U.K. strike having a cover of Dusty Springfield’s “I Just Desire to be With You.” 1980’s Luminous Cellar didn’t build on that well-known success, as well as the recording, which got a new digital emphasis as opposed to the ’60s-influenced guitar pop from the 1st two, sounded just like the group acquired lost their visual focus. The Travelers split afterwards that calendar year. In 1984, Epic released a cash-in compilation known as MUST HAVE Been Greatest Strikes.
