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.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
