Head Games is the third studio album by Anglo American rock band Foreigner, released in 1979. It charted at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart, and has sold over five million copies in the US alone. The album is perhaps as famous (or infamous) for its album cover - depicting a worried young woman (portrayed by actress Lisanne Falk) in a men's restroom - as it is for its music.
The title track and "Dirty White Boy" were the album's big hits, peaking at #14 and #12, respectively. This was the album in which Rick Wills replaced Ed Gagliardi as bassist. It was the band's only album produced by Roy Thomas Baker, best known for producing Queen's classic albums.
"By the time Head Games hit the shelves of record stores around the world, Foreigner had overcome their initial trepidation at having seen their career take off in a rocket-like fashion and were now firmly established as one of the biggest arena rock acts in America. Having suffered at the hands of the critics for entertaining a sound that was too polished, the band made an effort to sound rougher at the edges, more "street." The album's opener certainly fits the bill; and as Mick Jones puts it, "we started to serach for a little more earthiness and that's how 'Dirty White Boy' came about." Jones also had to field accusations that the song had racist overtones, claims that Jones was adamant had no foundation whatsoever.
While there are gritty songs such as "Dirty White Boy" -- a Top 20 hit in the US -- and "Women," elsewhere the album reverts to type, with a typical grandiose rocker, "Love On The Telephone," the good-feeling "The Modern Day," and the title track, another Top 20 US hit, which exudes everything "big-sounding" that Foreigner fans had come to expect. The record sees the Foreigner debut of bassist Rick Wills (ex-Roxy Music, Small Faces) following the departure of Ed Gagliardi. The album peaked at Number Five on the US album charts, spending 41 weeks in the chart, but failed to make the Top 40 in the UK."
As of 2004, Head Games was the #38 best-selling album of the 70s. (Hamish Champ, The 100 Best-Selling Albums of the 70s, 2004)
