I don't have the album but I am familiar with a few of the tunes. I remember back in '78 going with a buddy of mine on the bus and buying the 45 of Hot Blooded - I've always loved the intro . I also have the single of Double Vision (with Picture sleeve) . I 've heard Blue Morning , Blue Day occasionally on my classic rock station. I'm going to have to check this album out one of these days.
Faves - Hot Blooded , Double Vision and Blue Morning , Blue Day.

I picked this up on vinyl years ago since their Records compilation left off Blue Morning, Blue Day!  Hot Blooded and Double Vision of course are both classics. Haven't been in much of a Foreigner mood as of late though. I'm wondering if that live bonus cut of Hot Blooded is the same one that is on Records?  |

Though not the biggest Foreigner fan,I think that this is by far their best album.

Love has taken its toll
Back where you belong
Tramontane

You're all I am
I have waited so long
Lonely children

'Blue Morning, Blue Day' has started to get airplay on the classic rock stations where I live also. Great song - I remember hearing it often back in 1979!  |

Haven't been in much of a Foreigner mood as of late though. I'm wondering if that live bonus cut of Hot Blooded is the same one that is on Records? I could never understand why they left off 'Blue Morning, Blue Day'. It really should have been on that compilation! I was curious about 'Hot Blooded' too, so I listened to clips from both CDs at the mymusic site, and they're the same! It's a good live version, but I always thought Records should have gone with the studio version, like they did with the other songs. |

'Double Vision' is one of my two all-time favorites by them - 'Urgent' is the other. 'Hot Blooded' and 'Blue Morning, Blue Day' were great singles! |
