Production and mastering by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab
In contrast to much of the era's angrier fare and crudely produced music, Foreigner stands out by way of its clean, muscular, professional production. Still, Mobile Fidelity believed that underneath the surfaces, an even fresher, bigger-sounding record loomed.
Sourced from the original master tapes and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, this LP presents the sextet's roof-raising anthems and scintillating blend of guitars, synths, and Gramm's soulful vocals across a wide, deep soundstage. Instrumental separation, tonal balance, and imaging are superb. Better still, the songs come across with an assertive liveliness that adds to their enjoyment, structure, and melodic character. The accessory flutes, saxophones, and synthesizer solos have never sounded so enmeshed within the overall sonic fabric.
