Cold as ice - Foreigner

'Cold as ice' was taken from Foreigner's self-titled debut album. When it was released as a single, it quickly became one of the band's best known songs after it peaked at number 6 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, number 24 in the UK singles chart and number 13 in the Dutch Top 40.

I actually own two copies of the single. I bought the first one in 1992, which was made in Holland and widely available in Europe at the time of its release. The other single popped up in 1995, pressed on clear vinyl and housed in a see-through sleeve. This is a limited edition version from the UK, also released in 1977. A real rarity!

My collection: 7" single no. 1793 / no. 2521
Found: All that music, Leiden, November 25, 1992 / London, November 1, 1995
Cost: 3,5 guilders / 1 pound
Tracks: 'Cold as ice' / 'I need you'
