Double Vision

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work

Double Vision is Foreigner's second album. It was recorded between March and May 1978 and released on 20 June 1978 on Atlantic Records. It is the only album co-produced by Keith Olsen and the last with bassist Ed Gagliardi, who was later replaced by Rick Wills. There is a joke attached to the title: A&R man John Kalodner had his name in the credits twice, at Mick Jones's suggestion.

The singles were Hot Blooded (number 3 on the American Hot 100), Double Vision (number 2) and Blue Morning, Blue Day (number 15). Tramontane is the only instrumental track the band has released on a studio album. Jones sings lead himself on Back Where You Belong and I Have Waited So Long. Critics saw the album as a continuation of the debut: one spoke of slick production without artistic depth, another of hard rock at its best.
