Foreigner- 4-LP

Foreigner’s 4 captures a pivotal moment when the band leaned into a slicker, radio-ready sound under the guidance of producer Robert John 'Mutt' Lange, known for his work with AC/DC and Def Leppard. This 1981 release features the enduring hit "Waiting For A Girl Like You," a track that helped cement Foreigner’s place in mainstream rock. The album also showcases "Urgent," distinguished by a memorable saxophone solo from Motown’s Junior Walker, adding a surprising edge to the band’s evolving style. With the addition of synthesizers and a polished production, 4 represents Foreigner’s shift toward a more pop-rock approach without losing their rock roots. This Japanese import pressing offers a clean listening experience on vinyl, presenting glossy surfaces with only minor, almost imperceptible paper scuffs or faint lines typical of well-kept records. The VG++ condition means you can expect very little distraction during playback, making it a solid choice for collectors who appreciate both sound and presentation. It’s a pressing that holds its own, proving sometimes it’s not just what’s on the record but how it’s carried that counts—much like the band’s transition here from hard rock to a smoother, more radio-friendly sound.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
