Recorded between 1977 and 1992, this compilation contains 3 new tracks. Includes liner notes by Vic Garbarini.
If you're looking for a more substantial Foreigner 'hits' collection than 1982's 10-track RECORDS, then 92's 17-track collection THE VERY BESTàAND BEYOND is your best bet. Foreigner was a hit-making machine in the late-70's/early-80's, cranking out one classic rock radio standard after another, and all are showcased here. The term 'arena rock' was virtually invented by such rockin' cuts as "Juke Box Hero," "Cold As Ice," "Urgent," "Double Vision," "Dirty White Boy," "Feels Like the First Time." And Foreigner was one of the first rock outfits to excel with the power ballad - both "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "I Want to Know What Love Is" helped open the floodgates for similarly styled songs by others.

Best foreigner ablum Having all the top foreigner songs, this album is the best buy for Foreigner followers. Submitted by Bernie (Cheyenne,Wy,USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Great ! It is simply cheap and the best. The price is very cheap and affordable if your on a fixed budget and do not want to buy the new expensive version call "The Complete Greatest Hits." All in all a super record that you can just boogie down to. Buy it now! Submitted by a reviewer ("Greensboro, NC, USA" ) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
BEST OF THE BEST!!! I won't bargain this Album from the rest. Try to find from any of their greatest hits if you can find this "With heaven on our side" so soulful. With so much regret I bought the Defenitive. Before I had this once.I should buy this album again. Jay of Dgte. City Submitted by jay (Dubai-United Arab Emirates) Was This Review Helpful?
