dear Foreigner fan, et al,
please compare and consider the 2cd set "Anthology: Jukebox Heroes" with its NON-live version of "break it up" and a few solo tracks/hits from band members.

I'm not familiar with all of the radio edits on this comp. I believe all of the other collections used the album versions. I would be curious to hear from someone in the know.

The best comp is No End in Sight from 2008 which features virtually every hit and album track.
Here, they bafflingly use radio edits of songs that were short enough already, and omit actual hits for some head-scratchers.
What should be here and could easily fit are these hit singles/album rock hits:
Disc 1:
Feels Like the First Time Cold as Ice Long, Long Way From Home Headknocker Starrider Fool for You Anyway Hot Blooded Double Vision Blue Morning, Blue Day Dirty White Boy Head Games Women Rev on the Red Line Urgent Juke Box Hero Waiting For A Girl Like You Break it Up Night Life Luanne I Want To Know What Love Is That Was Yesterday Tooth And Nail Reaction To Action Down On Love
Disc 2:
Say You Will I Don't Want to Live Without You Heart Turns To Stone Can't Wait Lowdown And Dirty I'll Fight for You Soul Doctor With Heaven on Our Side Until the End of Time White Lie Too Late When It Comes To Love Can't Slow Down In Pieces Save Me Give My Life For Love The Flame Still Burns
There, done.
And for space, you just shift a few of the songs from Disc 1 to Disc 2.
I'll stick with No End in Sight which is very close to perfect and Juxebox Heroes is a good one too though it adds non-Foreigner songs I had no interest in.
They botched this one!

I was in my local Walmart today and discovered that they're selling an exclusive edition of this release. I believe the price was $13.99. It adds a third disc of live tracks. Looked to be about 10 or 11 songs, mostly the hits you might expect on a release like this. I didn't notice any source info for the live tracks on the packaging.

I saw the CD set this morning in my local Walmart too. The third CD is "Live In '05" -- I wonder if this is the same live CD that has been making the rounds under different titles? If it was a more recent live show I would've picked it up.....

IP, your track list is amazing. That should have been the release.
This is why I love this site so much. I'd never know this thing existed without it. Thanks for posting.
I wish we lived in a day where a band like Foreigner were putting out new music on a consistent basis. I enjoyed Can't Slow Down and can't believe that was all the way back in 2009! I hate to hear them relegated to a couple ballads on a compilation.

This was so shoddily put together it's baffling.
Three cuts from Mr. Moonlight and the two hits ("Until The End Of Time" and "Under The Gun") aren't among them!
I've seen this for as low as $9.99 but I have avoided it so far.
