Atlantic 75 Historic Reissue Series from Analogue Productions!
Foreigner's debut album from 1977 showed in the USA that good old rock would not be displaced by the wave of punk rolling in from England. Foreigner celebrates what would be called "arena rock" in later years. Music to which everyone can unpack the air guitar and with which you can fill stadiums. The album has been certified platinum five times over the years for its enormous sales figures and the hit "Cold As Ice" belongs in the program of every rock radio. And while the record has always featured clean, immediate production, it impresses on this latest release as a double 45 with a great dynamic intensity and rich transparency. One of those albums that you should definitely listen to out loud.
Analogue Productions is re-releasing this classic as part of the 75th anniversary of Atlantic Records, the exciting series includes 75 pearls of music history. Released as a 45 RPM double LP, mastered by Chris Bellman.
Arena rock heroes Foreigner crushed with their 1977 self-titled album debut, spawning some of the biggest FM hits of that year, including the anthemic "Feels Like the First Time" and "Cold as Ice," both of which were anchored — like most of Foreigner's songs — by the muscular but traditional riffing of guitarist Mick Jones, the soaring vocals of Lou Gramm, and the state-of-the-art rock production values of the day, which AllMusic reviewer Andy Hinds says allowed the band to sound hard but polished.
The architect behind Foreigner's extraordinary catalog, Mick Jones has crafted some of rock music's most enduring songs. Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated songwriter, performer and producer and winner of the prestigious Ivor Novello songwriter award in 1998, Jones first began playing guitar in his early teens.
After starting his own rock band and opening for the Rolling Stones in pubs across South London, Mick's first big break came in 1964 when he moved to Paris and was hired to play with French singer Sylvie Vartan.
After a brief stint in England to reform the band Spooky Tooth, Jones moved to New York City and formed Foreigner with Ian McDonald and Dennis Elliott and Americans Lou Gramm, Alan Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi.
Foreigner defined a generation of rock music to people across the globe. From its iconic debut album, the band moved on to record-breaking hits including "I Want To Know What Love Is," "Waiting for a Girl Like You," "Double Vision," "Hot Blooded," "Juke Box Hero" and many more.
Now on 180-gram 45 RPM double LP you'll hear Foreigner in all its phenomenal glory. Mastered from the original tape by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound, this reissue rocks. Double LP cut at 45 RPM, pressed at Quality Record Pressings, and housed in a Stoughton Printing tip-on old style gatefold jacket. That's how you upgrade a classic.
