Foreigner : Double Vision (2002 Rhino Records Remastered Expanded Edition) (2 CDs)

FEELING DOWN 'N' DIRTY

FEELING KINDA MEAN

I'VE BEEN FROM 

ONE TO ANOTHER EXTREME

 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
