Overview

Tourism: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotelrooms & Other Strange Places is the fourth studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 28 August 1992 by EMI. Despite often being mistaken for a live album, the record was described by Roxette in its liner notes as a "tour album": the band recorded the majority of its material in numerous recording studios in between live dates of their worldwide Join the Joyride! Tour. The album contains three live concert recordings, while another track was recorded live in an empty nightclub in São Paulo. A further two songs were recorded in Buenos Aires' Alvear Palace Hotel. The album received mixed reviews from American publications upon release, with several of them confused over its concept and incorrectly describing it as containing just five previously unreleased songs. It also underperformed on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 117 on the chart and selling approximately 278,000 copies—far short of the million-selling Joyride. Nevertheless, the album was a commercial success in Europe and was certified platinum in numerous territories. As of 2001, Tourism had sold over six million copies worldwide. Background and recording Tourism was described by Roxette in the album's liner notes as a "tour album, [...] not a live album". It consists of songs recorded by the band in various locations during the "Join the Joyride! Tour". The idea was to "create and collect material along the way; to record our music in different environments in different parts of the world; to take advantage of the excitement and the energy within the band on a tour like this." It does contain several live recordings, including versions of "The Look" and "Joyride" taken from their 13 December 1991 performance at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, as well as an acoustic version of Joyride album track "Things Will Never Be the Same" from a November 1991 concert in Zürich. A portion of a live performance of "It Must Have Been Love" from their 25 April 1992 concert at San Carlos Stadium in Santiago, Chile is used as an intro to a new studio recording of the song. This new version was recorded in Ocean Way Recording Studios in March 1992, and features k.d. lang guitarist Greg Leisz performing pedal steel guitar. Also recorded there was new song "The Heart Shaped Sea", which again features Leisz. The band recorded several songs while touring in Latin America in May 1992.

Notable quotes

“For the general public, my work is sometimes easier than a painting because there is someone addressing you; it can actually be a relief. What's interesting is the idea of a tourist randomly coming in and the experience they'll have.”
— Tino Sehgal in: Charlotte Higgins "Tino Sehgal's Turbine Hall commission: 'Attention is what I work with'", The Guardian (16 July 2012)
“Stay away from restaurants that have menus in five languages. That's always a tourist trap. You want to eat where the locals eat.”
— Curtis Stone in: Nexum Ediciones 42 phrasal verbs esenciales, Nexum Ediciones, 30 January 2014, p. 16
“Essentially the camera makes everyone a tourist in other people's reality, and eventually in one's own.”
— Susan Sontag in: Bruce Robbins Feeling Global: Internationalism in Distress, NYU Press, 1 January 1999, p. 2
“I don't look down on tourism. I live in Hawaii where we have 7 million visitors a year. If they weren't there, there would be no economy. So I understand why a tourist economy is necessary.”
— Paul Theroux in: Author Paul Theroux on his final African journey, USA TODAY, 23 May 2013
“One can only really travel if one lets oneself go and takes what every place brings without trying to turn it into a healthy private pattern of one's own and I suppose that is the difference between travel and tourism.”
— From the Riding in the Tigris quoted in: Paul Theroux The Tao of Travel: Enlightenments from Lives on the Road, McClelland & Stewart, 12 July 2011, p. 226
“Our wanderings were wide and in many directions; and now I could give the reader a vivid description of the Big Trees and the marvels of the Yosemite—but what has the reader done to me that I should persecute him? I will deliver him into the hands of less conscientious tourists and take his blessing. Let me be charitable, though I fail in all virtues else.”
— Mark Twain, p. 334 (1st edition, 1872, American Publishing Company)
