In 1980, Foreigner — after parting ways with keyboardist Ian McDonald and guitarist and vocalist Al Greenwood — went into Electric Lady Studios in New York City to record their fourth album. The aptly titled 4 was released in July 1981, and thanks to such hits as “Juke Box Hero,” “Waiting on a Girl Like You” and “Urgent,” spent more time on the Billboard 200 than any other artist in the history of Atlantic Records, including AC/DC, The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.
To celebrate the 44th anniversary of 4, Rhino Records has released a deluxe version that includes newly remastered stereo and Atmos mixes, 14 early and alternate versions of various songs, 15 instrumentals, and 15 live performances from around the globe.
This one-hour nationally syndicated special contains songs from this reissue along with insights from the Mick Jones and Lou Gramm.
