DETROIT (Billboard) - Foreigner is taking a backward glance at its career this summer with "No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner," which contains hits from throughout the group's 41-year career, plus a new song and three other new recordings.

Classic tracks on the two-disc set, due July 15 on Rhino, include "Feels Like the First Time," "Cold as Ice," "Hot Blooded," "Juke Box Hero," "Urgent," "Waiting for a Girl Like You" and "I Want to Know What Love Is."

The new recordings are recent lives takes of "Starrider," which originally hails from Foreigner's self-titled 1977 debut album, and a "Juke Box Hero"/"Whole Lotta Love" medley; an acoustic version of the 1987 hit "Say You Will"; and the brand new "Too Late," which will be released as a single.

"I'm amazed that the songs do have that staying power," Foreigner founder, guitarist and chief songwriter Mick Jones told Billboard.com. "I don't really listen to the old records a lot, so you tend to forget there are this many songs that made the kind of mark they have."

"Too Late," meanwhile, represents the first new Foreigner track since 1994's "Mr. Moonlight" and the first recorded output from the latest lineup of the band, which includes Jason Bonham on drums, former Dokken bassist Jeff Pilson and former Hurricane frontman Kelly Hansen. Jones said plans are afoot for an all-new Foreigner album as well.

"There's a long-range plan now that we really do have a great lineup of the band again," he said. "It's very exciting. Everyone's committed to the long haul here."

"No End in Sight" comes out the same day that Foreigner begins a nine-date co-headlining tour with Bryan Adams in Augusta, Maine. The group will also play a few East Coast dates on its own beginning July 29 in Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

Awesome!

I was just listening to "Hot Blooded" yesterday - and it always makes me think of Les Nessman and his toupee.

"Cold As Ice" one of my fave songs of all time. I never get tired of hearing it.

Foreigner is only good with Lou Gramm singing. Nothing to look at, but his voice was AWESOME.
