''Leisure'' is the debut studio album by the English rock band Blur. The album was released on 26 August 1991 in the United Kingdom via Food Records, and peaked at number 7 in the UK Albums Chart. It was released in the US a month later with a different track listing. The album was certified Gold in the UK. The US version of ''Leisure'' was frontloaded with Blur's three UK singles, and the song "Sing" was replaced by "I Know", previously an A-side with "She's So High" (see track listings for exact changes). The Canadian version has the same tracklisting as the UK version. ==Overview== In 2007, lead singer Damon Albarn referred to ''Leisure'' as "awful" and one of two bad records he had made, along with Blur's ''The Great Escape'' (1995).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Digital Spy – Albarn cusses own albums. )〕 "Sing" was included on the ''Trainspotting'' soundtrack in 1996. The original version, "Sing (To Me)", was recorded as a demo in late 1989 under the band's former name, Seymour, and can be heard on the ultra-rare promo-only single which was released over a decade later in February 2000 and on the first of 4-disc set with rare stuff in ''Blur 21'' box set. In 2008, Coldplay announced upon the release of ''Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends'' that "Sing" from ''Leisure'' provided a starting point for "Lost!".〔(Coldplay Give Track-By-Track Tour of Viva La Vida ), MTV.com, 9 June 2008. 〕 As part of the album's 21st anniversary, Leisure was remastered and reissued along with the band's other studio albums on 30 July 2012.〔(''Blur 21'' ) at Blur's website〕 The artwork for the album originates from a 1930s photoshoot for a swimming cap ad campaign. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leisure (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
