Back catalogue: All genres

Review: Arena rock heroes Foreigner crushed with their 1977 self-titled album debut, spawning some of the biggest FM hits of that year, including the anthemic 'Feels Like the First Time' and 'Cold as Ice,' both of which were anchored - like most of Foreigner's songs - by the muscular but traditional riffing of guitarist Mick Jones, the soaring vocals of Lou Gramm, and the state-of-the-art rock production values of the day. The architect behind Foreigner's extraordinary catalog, Jones has crafted some of rock music's most enduring songs. After starting his own rock band and opening for the Rolling Stones in pubs across South London, his first big break came in 1964 when he moved to Paris and was hired to play with French singer Sylvie Vartan. After a brief stint in England to reform the band Spooky Tooth, Jones moved to New York and formed Foreigner with Ian McDonald and Dennis Elliott and Americans Lou Gram, Alan Greenwood and Ed Gagliardi. Foreigner defined a generation of rock music to people across the globe; now on 180-gram 45 RPM double LP, you can hear Foreigner in all its phenomenal glory.

Review: Foreigner's 1981 album 4 is a masterclass in soft rock excellence, and its reissue on vinyl reaffirms its status as a classic still. The album, known for its impeccable production and iconic tracks, catches Foreigner at the peak of their powers. From the high-octane opener 'Night Life' to the anthemic 'Juke Box Hero,' the band delivers a blend of powerful rock and emotional balladry that remains timeless. 'Waiting for a Girl Like You' stands out as one of the greatest power ballads ever, with its atmospheric sound and Lou Gramm's silky vocals. 'Urgent,' another highlight, exells with its tight interplay between Mick Jones' guitar and the unforgettable saxophone solo, while 'I'm Gonna Win' and 'Woman in Black' exemplify the band's ability to craft songs full of determination and soul. Each track on 4 feels meticulously crafted, with infectious melodies and hooks that have resonated with audiences for decades. The vinyl reissue brings a warmth and depth to the recording that enhances the listening experience, making still stand out as an iconic rock album that no yacht should be without.

Review: Styx and Foreigner and much-loved rock acts and they came together for an epic 'Renegades & Juke Box Heroes' tour recently. Nothing says summer like their feel-good anthems such as 'Come Sail Away,' 'Feels Like The First Time,' 'Renegade,' 'Juke Box Hero,' 'Mr. Roboto,' and 'I Want To Know What Love Is.' Foreigner's Mick Jones continues to drive the band with his signature songwriting and guitar hooks, while lead singer Kelly Hansen has rejuvenated the band for a new generation. Supporting members bring unmatched energy and help add to Foreigner's enduring appeal and Styx, with their extensive catalogue of hits and high-energy performances also impress. This is a great tribute to classic rock.
