Album Review

Foreigner's most lucrative years came during their first four albums, with their guitar-driven arena rock flair settling in nicely with the rest of the late-'70s music scene. Twelve of Foreigner's 16 Top 40 singles are from a six year span, between 1977 and 1982, which is why Records makes for such an entertaining collection of the band's early work. With cuts stemming from Foreigner, Double Vision, Head Games, and 4, Records lines up ten of their first 11 hit singles, somehow leaving out 1979's "Blue Morning, Blue Day." But even with this minor deletion, the album is agreeably brief, and it's the most opportune route in exploring Foreigner's best material. Both "Cold As Ice" and "Double Vision" are stellar examples of Lou Gramm's vocal gusto and Mick Jones' bang-on guitar playing, while favorites like "Urgent" (with Junior Walker on sax ), "Head Games," and "Feels Like the First Time," with its shiny keyboard segments, are unblemished radio-rock standards. The live cut of "Hot Blooded" is a nice addition as well, as is the band's second-best ballad in "Waiting for a Girl Like You," outdone only by 1984's "I Want to Know What Love Is." While Records fits the bill as a compact summation of all of Foreigner's pre-Agent Provocateur hits, it also makes for one great driving album.

Mediocre

I'm not a fan of Foreigner, but this is a mediocre compilation album and it's a valuable one for new Foreigner fans. It covers pretty much all the hits from Foreigner's first four albums. However, the downsides are the edited version of "Feels Like the First Time" and the live version of "Hot Blooded", which might upset people who want the versions from the original studio albums. If you have Foreigner's first four studio albums (Foreigner, Double Vision, Head Games, 4) you don't need this album. If you're a big Foreigner fan, just buy "Hot Blooded" as it appears on this album since it's a live recording.

For newcomers to Foreigner who want a better compilation album, buy the one released last year: "No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner." It has that sappy yet lovable "I Want to Know What Love Is" and a new song "Too Late."
