LOS ANGELES — Foreigner, one of the most successful bands in music history, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on October 19. In celebration of this much-deserved honor, the band will release a career-spanning collection that includes “Turning Back The Time,” a new song featuring original members Mick Jones and Lou Gramm.
On October 4, Rhino will release Turning Back The Time in 2-LP and CD configurations. Pre-Order HERE. The music will also be available from digital and streaming platforms on the same day. The new single “Turning Back The Time” debuts today. Listen HERE.
Jones reflects on the band’s legacy in a brief note for the collection: “Foreigner’smembership in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a priceless highlight of my career…I hope that this collection of the songs that brought us here, along with some later recordings that light our way forward, will mean as much to all who listen to them as they do to me.”
Starting with its self-titled debut in 1977, Foreigner delivered some of rock’s most enduring anthems. Turning Back The Time includes the Top 10 hits “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice,” “Hot Blooded,” “Double Vision,” and “Urgent.” The set also features the ballads “Waiting For A Girl Like You” and “I Want To Know What Love Is,” which reached No. 2 and No. 1 respectively.
The collection mainly draws from Foreigner’s first six albums, all of which earned platinum status or higher: Foreigner (5x platinum), Double Vision (7x platinum), Head Games (5x platinum), 4 (6x platinum), Agent Provocateur (3x platinum), and Inside Information (platinum). To date, Foreigner has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide, cementing its status as one of the top-selling bands of all time.
