Foreigner have confirmed the release of The Best Of Foreigner 4 & More, which sees the current lineup recreating tracks from their 1981 album plus some of their greatest hits.

Mainman Mick Jones, singer Kelly Hansen, bassist Jeff Pilson, keyboardist Michael Bluestein, guitarists Thom Gimbel and Bruce Watson and drummer Chris Frazier recorded the live album earlier this month in Atlantic City.

The 12-track set features 4 tracks Juke Box Hero, Break It Up and Waiting For A Girl Like You plus Feels Like The First Time, Cold As Ice and others.

Jones says: “Our music has touched a lot of people worldwide – unwittingly, we've weaved our music into the fabric of people's lives.”

Pilson, who produced the work with Jones as executive producer, adds: “Great songs, great performances and great production are timeless – and 4 has all three in spades. Bringing the album to life on stage made us very happy. We’re thrilled to give people a chance to really reflect on what a great and classic album 4 truly is.”

Hansen explains: “It's great to be in a group with people who really get it, and understand how fortunate we are to be playing and performing such great material.”

The Best Of Foreigner 4 & More is available for pre-order via the project’s Pledge page, which carries additional offers including poster, replica tour shirt and vinyl editions. The band are currently touring Europe with an acoustic show, and play a one-off full-power album launch in Switzerland on November 6.

Product Description

This is really silly.

To whomever wrote the original blurb:
Urgent, Girl on the Moon, Night Life, and Woman in Black are also from "4".

I know it says "features", but then I'd think "Urgent" would be a "featured" "4" track.

--- and it is silly.

If this were a live album, that would be one thing, but who's going to say "Man I really want to hear 'Juke Box Hero' - but not that old Lou Gramm version"?

Though I didn't see it in the post, I believe this is a live album, recorded at the Borgata casino.

Well, that makes more sense. The article made it sound like a re-recording, a la the bonus disc in Kiss' "Sonic Boom".

Yep, and I think the current Foreigner have already gone the re-recording route, both electrically and acoustically.

I like this band in concert, but they are running out of dead horses to beat

I'm pretty sure this is a studio album.

Not according to what Foreigner have posted on their website.

If that's the case, this is a much better idea.

But...time for another studio album. Cam't Slow Down was a good one and I just listened to that again.

At least if this is a live album, I might listen to hear tunes like "Girl On The Moon" and "Woman In Black".

The would be the perfect add-on bonus to new studio album. Can't Slow Down was outstanding.

That really was a solid album and it did well, so why the rehash?

Most likely-lots of money there and little in a new album sadly.

This is $6.99 on Amazon.com.

Has anyone heard it? Is it indeed a live recording?

Kelly Hansen is dynamite (as is the band), so at that price I may add it to an order.

Here 'tis: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PV0CHS2/?tag=imwan-20

I've updated the details in the first post as well. In America, this was released by Sony's budget label (hence the low price). In Europe it was released by Frontiers, and they made a promo trailer for it:



It's not quite clear if they're considering this re-recordings or a full-fledged live album. From the description, it sounds more like they intend it to be taken as re-recordings, to serve as a new greatest hits.

They did studio re-recordings of their greatest hits as a bonus disc for Can't Slow Down.

So these must be redone even better.

This is all live, recorded at the Borgata in Atlantic City.

It says so on Foreigner's website and in the Amazon description.

If live, for $6.99 I am getting it.

In fact, 34 minutes ago, Foreigner posted a video from the Borgata performance of "Break it Up" on their Facebook page, along with the comment; "It sounds even better on CD! "Foreigner 4 & More" available for pre-order worldwide now!"

Is the audience audible, is my question.

Me too.

Haven't heard it yet, but I'll be shocked if we can't hear the crowd.
