Bloody Tourists was the sixth studio album by 10cc and the second to be produced following the band's 1976 split. It yielded the singles "Dreadlock Holiday", which reached No.1 in the UK in August 1978, and "Reds in My Bed", which did not chart. "For You and I" was issued as a double a-side single with "I'm Not in Love" in the autumn of 1979 but also didn't chart. "For you and I" was also issued in the US, with promo copies being available as a 12" single.

"Dreadlock Holiday" was inspired by The Moody Blues singer Justin Hayward's experiences while on holiday in the Caribbean. [1]

Bloody Tourists, which featured cover art created by Hipgnosis, reached No.3 in the UK album charts and No. 69 in the United States.
