Foreigner 4 on limited edition edition 180 gram vinyl from Mobile Fidelity. This No. 1 1981 album teems with hits: "Urgent," "Waiting for a Girl Like You," and "Juke Box Hero". This is Foreigner's most consistent, economical, and cleanly produced record.
Featuring Mutt Lange's spotless production, contributions from Motown legend Junior Walker and new-wave icon Thomas Dolby, no less than three huge singles, and Foreigner's most economical performances, 4 is classic-rock nirvana, a model of crystalline pop-rock melodies and lighter -flicking balladry. More than six million copies later, the 1981 record is still rightly discussed as a front-to-back masterpiece of precision, power, and economy. It's an album that demands the highest possible fidelity.
Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's 180-gram vinyl presents 4 in a room-filling, stage-big sound that simply crushes what's heard on all previous versions. Replete with energetic rockers such as "Urgent," "Night Life," and "Woman In Black," the facsimile that opens up the previously compressed dynamics, expands the dimensions of the soundstage, dials in a clear path to the instrumental images, and the ceiling that pressed down on Lou Gramm's superhuman vocals. For the first time, Lange's obsessive, detail-oriented production can be enjoyed in all its splendid glory.
Fresh off blockbuster success with AC / DC's Back in Black, Long uses his magic touch on 4, pairing with guitarist Mick Jones who, with the best batch of riffs of his career, shared the producer's sentiment for discipline, efficiency, and cleanliness , And so, on crisp tunes like "Break it up," pianos and hard-hitting guitars share the same space without ever impinging on one another or overstepping boundaries. The Winning Formula So Props Like The Wildly Funky "Urgent," sent to new heights by Walker's Dazzling saxophone solo, and the touching "Waiting for a Girl Like You," a foreigner to soft-rock and adult crossover -pop audiences.
