Foreigner is expanding their only U.S. chart-topping album in advance of the group’s 50th anniversary. The super-deluxe edition of 1981’s six-times-platinum 4 returns as a 5CD/Blu-ray package with newly remastered stereo or ATMOS versions.
Due on Sept. 12, the reissue will be available in black vinyl and various other formats. Included are five previously unreleased songs, 14 early and alternate versions of various songs, 15 instrumentals and 15 live performances from the band’s 1981-82 world tour. The digital deluxe release will also contain alternate versions, instrumentals and live performances from the era.
The physical releases are paired with a booklet with more than 60 exclusive photos. Pre-orders are already underway. See a complete track list – and the band’s latest confirmed tour dates – below.

Foreigner’s fourth album was recorded at New York City’s Electric Lady Studios with producer Mutt Lange. Both “Urgent” and the follow-up “Waiting for a Girl Like You” reached the Top 5 then “Juke Box Hero” also became a Top 40 hit. Foreigner 4 reportedly spent more weeks atop the Billboard charts than any other Atlantic Records act.
“Recording our fourth album took the better part of two years,” Foreigner stalwart Mick Jones said in an official statement. “It was something that just had to be right and I truly believe that Mutt Lange, Lou [Gramm], Rick [Willis], Dennis [Elliott] and I accomplished something very special. This package, and particularly the stunning Atmos mixes, present a spectacular culmination of one of the most exciting periods of my life.”
The just-announced concerts dates, dubbed the Foreigner 4 Deluxe Tour, include multi-night stands in Port Chester, New York, and Montclair, New Jersey. These will be the first shows after long-time singer Kelly Hansen leaves the lineup. Their updated touring edition will include vocalist Luis Maldonado, bassist Jeff Pilson, keyboardist Michael Bluestein, guitarist Bruce Watson and drummer Chris Frazier. Gramm will guest on some songs.
“Earlier this year, we toured Mexico and South America with the incredible Lou Gramm,” Maldonado said. ” We all had such a fantastic time performing and being together, and it’s with that same excitement I look forward to working with Lou again. He was an integral part of the writing and recording of the Foreigner 4 album and his presence will add a historic dimension to our forthcoming tour.”
