The often forgotten double vision of the AOR-legend

Besides Led Zeppelin Foreigner in the late seventies and early eighties were in the US, second best band, at least what the sales concerned. Here in Germany a real breakthrough until five years later, however, came with the Hammer Album - 4 - with the song - Cold as Ice - the debut album was played already frequently on the radio or at events. But were less aware of the other great songs of the first three albums, one of which - particularly stands out for me - Double Vision.

Hot Blooded - Sultry and surprising songs, such as the excellent instrumental piece - Tramonatane - are on this album, which was in Germany at that time, although less well known and successful, but now reaped seven times platinum in America, and thus, As for sales, even before - 4 - is that only six times previously received this great honor.

Besides the two hits - Hot Blooded and Double Vision - is also a hidden Hitjuwel on this disc, namely the song - Lonely Children - raising his voice for the child's welfare very much on the Foreigner. This song would you actually, if only due to the fantastic text message, couple out, but probably was the person in charge of this song then but a little too violent, especially as Foreigner also often referred to as "Rock'n'Love band". So the decision was made at that time for that - Blue Morning, Blue Day - bring out as the third single.

The newly remastered and expanded version contains with - Hot Blooded and Love Maker (a cover version of Betty Wright Let Me Be Your Love Maker) - two great Life versions.
