Well, most know how things turned out for this band afterward. For the next ten or so years they dominated the rock charts with one hit single after another! But many of us do not know all that untapped footage behind the scenes of this hit-making machine. Imagine your second album shipping platinum? And far from being a sophomore slump, "Double Vision" would do just that to many an eager fan, incalculably influenced by this new supergroup taking the market by leaps and bounds. "Double Vision" as a song really did it for me. How many times did you hear it on the radio then, and even now, and still you have to listen!

Well anyway, like most, "Foreigner" had their ride for about four or five records and then the wheels came off for a while. Now they're back, with core members Jones and Graham again firmly entrenched at the command station. Look for bigger things from this dynamic duo who've always done better together than apart.

Although this anthology leaves no stone unturned in capturing the glory days of a band in its prime, once separated, along with some one time excess baggage that never before saw the light of day until it was recently uncovered. This two disc juggernaut features not only the very best and beyond, but check out the extra rarities taken from Mick Jones' pre-Foreigner work from Spooky Tooth, plus his own and Lou Gramm's solo material, and you have a complete family history - almost. But, it'll keep you busy for hours anyway! Personally, I thought they bowed out a little too calmly a few years back when the rock and roll shorelines weren't always so welcoming, but thankfully, today "Foreigner" seems recharged and ready to react (reaction to action?) to all this resurgent rock and roll karma that's been unleashed by many of their peers.
