Authentic Joel Pott and Tim Wanstall Hand Signed Athlete Tourist CD, complete with a market leading unconditional 90-day money back guarantee and lifetime COA. Worldwide shipping is available.

Tourist was the second album by English rock band Athlete, released in January 2005.

For this album, Athlete demonstrate a more mature musical style, creating a more stripped-down, sombre and reflective album than their first album Vehicles & Animals.

This copy of the Tourist CD insert has been hand signed in blue ink by Joel Pott and Tim Wanstall.

The first single from the album, “Wires”, became the biggest hit so far for the band when it entered the UK Singles Chart at #4.

The album also fared well in the charts, reaching the top of the UK Albums Chart the week it was released, selling 89,000 copies.

Despite this success, Tourist had a mixed critical reception, with some suggesting that Athlete had failed to sustain the unique style of their previous album, while others saw the new album as a logical progression from their old sound.

Despite the mainstream breakthrough the band achieved with this album, their fanbase was reduced to a mere cult when follow-up Beyond the Neighbourhood became their smallest-seller.

At the end of 2005, Tourist became the 32nd best-selling album of the year in the UK, and “Wires” was the 89th best-selling single.

This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions. In 2010, “Chances” was featured in the Doctor Who Series 5 episode, Vincent and the Doctor.

Athlete were an English indie rock band formed in Deptford, London, comprising Joel Pott (lead vocals and guitar), Carey Willetts (bass and backing vocals), Stephen Roberts (drums and backing vocals) and Tim Wanstall (keyboards and backing vocals).

The band had a brief period of high-profile domestic success in which their debut album Vehicles & Animals (2003) was a platinum seller in 2005 and Mercury Music Prize nomination. It was followed up by Tourist (2005) which reached No. 1 and sold over 500,000 copies allowing this album to also go platinum.

Since then the band has continued to release records on regular basis. Their subsequent two albums Beyond the Neighbourhood (2007) and Black Swan (2009) sees the band exploring different styles, influenced by the works of artists such as Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
