Foreigner : Double Vision (Expanded Version)



FEELING DOWN' DIRTY

FEELING KINDA MEAN



Double Vision

 is the

 second

 studio album

 by the

 British-American 

Rock band

 Foreigner

released on 

June,20th 1978

 by Atlantic Records. 

Recorded between 

March - May 1978, 

it was Foreigner's

 only album 

co-produced by

 Keith Olsen 

and the last recording 

with bass guitarist

 Ed Gagliardi 

who would be

 later replaced by

 Rick Wills.

Double Vision 

was the first 

in the line of

 many other recordings

 in which 

A&R executive 

John Kalodner 

would simply have

 his name listed twice

 in liner notes, 

as a play on the title 

of this album.

 The phrase

 "John Kalodner: 

John Kalodner" 

originated when

 the producer

 Olsen was wondering 

just how to credit 

Kalodner's involvement

 in the band

 and the album.

 In keeping with

 the double vision theme, 

guitarist 

Mick Jones 

came up with an idea

 of doubling the name.

"Tramontane"

 is the only 

instrumental track 

Foreigner

 have released

 to date 

on a studio album.

Mick Jones 

takes the

 lead vocals on

 "Back Where You Belong" 

and

 "I Have Waited So Long".

Release

The album peaked at

 number 3 

on the 

Billboard 200 chart 

and earning 

platinum certification

 a week after its release. 

It has now been 

certified 7× platinum

 for sales in 

excess of

 7 million units 

and along with 

the compilation

 Records

 (1982)

 is counted as

 Foreigner's 

best selling album.

 In Europe,

 however, 

Double Vision 

reached the

 Top 40

 only in the 

United Kingdom.

The lead single, 

released in June 1978, 

was

 "Hot Blooded," 

which reached

 number 3

 on the 

Billboard Hot 100 chart. 

In September, 

it was followed by

 "Double Vision," 

which charted at 

number 2. 

This was the

 highest position 

Foreigner

 had attained

 to that time. 

The third and

 final single, 

"Blue Morning, Blue Day," 

was released in 

December 

and climbed to

 number 15 

on the chart
