    Bought the album in 1977. Still in good working order. Recorded it on a cassette back then and it still sounds ok. TDK cassettes were the gold standard back then for us and now I know why. They hold up great!!!

    These guys were great back in the day.
    I had the pleasure of being in the Air Force with Ed Gagliardi, original bassist, back in the early seventies, when he told us that he was trying out for a band an that he had got the gig with Foreigner. Got invited to their release party, but my wife and I couldn't make it, as Ed left the military life and I signed up for another four long years... The good ol' days for sure!!!

    @ForeignerPhan 10 лет назад +3

    Great music is timeless and that's exactly what I consider Foreigner's first three albums. Their debut release is my alltime favorite from any band. I gotta agree with some of the comments below about why in the hell did Mick release Ed and then Ian and Al a little while later. The songwriting was never quite the same without Ian's contributions.

  • @Doobie1975
    @Doobie1975 13 лет назад +3

    Ed Gagliardi (the bassist of their first two albums) is IMO the best bass player they ever had and they should have never kicked him out of the band, same thing with Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood later on, to me the real Foreigner era was when they've had Ian, Al and Ed in the group

    Great song, wish this song was released as a single, I find it to be a lot catchier than "Long Long Way From Home" (another good Foreigner song) although this is one of their heavier songs they've ever done in their career

    @Doobie1975 14 лет назад +1

    Long live the Jones-Gramm-McDonald-Elliott-Greenwood-Gagliardi lineup, that was IMO the best Foreigner lineup of them all, what on earth was Mick Jones thinking when he sacked Ed Gagliardi and then later Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood?

  • @Doobie1975
    @Doobie1975 13 лет назад +1

    @tryithere I really loved the background vocals of the original lineup and it was a shame that Mick Jones's ego grew so large that he chose not to let the other members contribute more to the group, I think their subsequent albums would have been great if they remained together much longer and them contributing more to the group, their vocal harmonies of their early stuff reminds me of the Beach Boys

    @tryithere I have heard one of Spys's songs and I thought they were a great group, I wish they were as successful as Foreigner was.
    I don't know what Mick Jones was thinking when he took Foreigner towards the pop/ballad direction and I also wonder how Ian, Al and Ed felt about Foreigner writing love ballads?
