(new wave) The Tourists (pre-Eurythmics). Discography (6 albums) - 1979-1997, MP3, 192-320 kbps

The Tourists — британская музыкальная группа, более известная не как самостоятельный коллектив, но как квинтет, два участника которого — Энни Леннокс и Дэйв Стюарт — в будущем образовали дуэт Eurythmics, добившийся грандиозного успеха в Европе и США.
В 1977 Пит Комбз и Дэйв Стюарт пригласили к сотрудничеству студентку Королевской Музыкальной Академии Энн Леннокс, что и стало началом работы группы. Чуть позднее к музыкантам присоединились Эдди Чин и Джим Туми.
Самой успешной работой The Tourists стал кавер песни «I Only Want to Be with You» Дасти Спрингфилд. Высокой позиции в чартах достигла и «So Good To Be Back Home Again».
К 1980 Леннокс и Стюарт почувствовали, что могут добиться успеха, работая в несколько ином формате — они образовали дуэт Eurythmics. Комбз потерял интерес к музыке.
