Album Number Four Hundred Eighty Five. “Inside Information” is the sixth studio album by #foreigner, released on Dec. 7, 1987. The album debuted at 15, on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart and was certified Platinum in the U.S. for sales exceeding one million copies. Although a huge standard by any country's charting method, the band's sales were certainly plummeting since the release of 4 in 1981. It was the last album to feature the '80s core lineup of #lougramm, #mickjones, #rickwills, and #denniselliott. My copy is a gatefold on #atlanticrecords - 81808-1 The second single, "#IDontWantToLiveWithoutYou", reached #5 on the Hot 100. Markedly softer than any of their work to date, the record was their first and only #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, after the more rousing ballads "#waitingforagirllikeyou" and "#iwanttoknowwhatloveis" had reached #5 and #3 on that chart respectively. #theeighties #foreignerband https://www.instagram.com/p/CppxJ4vOFrE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Album Number Four Hundred Eighty Two. “Head Games” is the third studio album by Foreigner, released on 10 Sept 1979 by Atlantic Records. It was the only #foreignerband album co-produced by #roythomasbaker best known for working on Queen's classic albums. It marked the first appearance of new bass guitarist #rickwills (formerly of Jokers Wild and #smallfaces ) who replaced #edgagliardi (who was fired from the band), and was the last album with founding members #ianmcdonald and #algreenwood , who would leave the band after the recording. #headgames is also the last Foreigner album to feature a lead vocal by guitarist #mickjones ("The Modern Day"). My copy is on #atlanticrecords - SD 29999. The model in the photograph on the front cover is American actress and film producer #lisannefalk . The cover art was criticized by feminists for showing a teenage girl looking afraid in a boys' restroom. But according to Foreigner lead singer #lougramm , the cover was intended to be cute, like a cartoon. Gramm said "The girl is being naughty, erasing graffiti [in the restroom]. She's looking at whoever buys the album, she's been caught." According to Miami Herald critic Bill Ashton, the cover art is a play on the album title Head Games. Atlantic Records publicity director Stuart Ginsburg pointed out that "head is a naval term for bathroom" and Foreigner's media coordinator Susan Steinberg stated that "the girl on the cover is shocked by the graffiti. It's not like somebody is attacking her. I swear to you, it's not premeditated." #theseventies #rock #rockandroll #denniselliott https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFrT3XOcf3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
