Guitarist Rob Dean had left the band by this point, with vocalist David Sylvian taking on his duties, which had become largely surplus to requirements in terms of their musical direction. Four of the album's eight tracks were released as singles in the UK ("The Art of Parties", "Visions of China", "Ghosts", and "Cantonese Boy"), whilst a live version of "Canton" was issued as a single to promote the ''Oil on Canvas'' live album in 1983. Of these, the most commercially successful was "Ghosts", a minimalist, drum-free song which reached No.5 in the UK. "Visions of China" reached #32 and "Cantonese Boy" made the UK Top 25. The album itself peaked at #12 in the UK,〔(Japan albums ) Official charts〕 and was certified "Gold" by the BPI in 1982. In 2000, Sylvian re-recorded "Ghosts" using the original Japan backing track and included it on his compilation ''Everything and Nothing''. On 6 September 2011, ''Tin Drum'' was awarded BBC Radio 6 Music's 'Goldie' award for the best album of 1981. 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「Tin Drum (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
