FEELING DOWN' DIRTY
FEELING KINDA MEAN
Double Vision
is the
second
studio album
by the
British-American
Rock band
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
