About
Bloodsport is the third album by Sneaker Pimps. It was released on January 22, 2002. The album was released on CD as well as a double red vinyl LP set. Despite failing to chart in the UK, it made the Austrian top 75 album chart at #68. Lead single "Sick" charted only at #100 on the UK singles chart. The third Sneaker Pimps album, released in 2002 and the first to be released on Tommy Boy Records. Due to the tragic events of 9/11, Tommy Boy Records' offices were destroyed and a lot of revenue was lost, making the release and support of the album suffer substantially. By this time, the album was already pressed and graphically designed with the Tommy Boy Records branding and logos, but it was actually self-released and funded by the band through their own Splinter Records label. The band members themselves lost over £10,000 each of their own money, a total bombshell due to the very high public anticipation of the album at the time. Nevertheless, like the previous two albums, it is a cult favourite among fans. Its original title was to be called Forsythe and several tracks were cut from its final release.
