Digitally remastered by Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound, New York, New York). This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Billy Joel, a classically-trained pianist, was signed to Columbia Records in 1973. The title track to Piano Man, became a US Top 30 single and sowed the seeds of a highly successful recording career. However, Joel refused to bow to corporate demands for commercially-minded material and despite enjoying hits with two subsequent albums, Street Life Serenade and Turnstiles, it was not until 1977 that his fortunes flourished with the release of The Stranger, which eventually surpassed Bridge Over Troubled Water as Columbia's best-selling album. Joel's 1979 album, 52nd Street, spawned another smash single, 'My Life' while the singer's first US number 1, 'It's Still Rock 'N' Roll To Me' came from a subsequent release, Glass Houses. His image as a popular, uncontroversial figure was shaken with The Nylon Curtain, which featured two notable 'protest' compositions, 'Allentown' and 'Goodnight Saigon'. However he returned to simpler matters in 1984 with An Innocent Man which included the effervescent best-seller 'Uptown Girl'. In 1997, he announced that he would not be writing any pop songs in the foreseeable future, concentrating instead on classical scores. | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews  Excellent CD arrived fast and in good condition and works as described. I would definetely buy from this seller again. This is one of Billy Joel's greatest CD collections and the music from it brings back a lot of memories growing up as a child. My wife played her 1st copy so much she broke it so I replaced it for her... Review ID: 10000000007883215 Was this review helpful?

Aimed at your average teenReview created: 06/04/07 by: 3 of 4 people found this review helpful. BUY THIS CD! If you are anything of a Billy Joel fan you must buy this CD. I loved the arrngement on the CD. It has a great variety of songs that span his entire career. He sang a song called Honesty a very long time ago. The fact this song is not on the disc is the only dissapointment I have with it. Otherwise it a great disc set to own. You can't go wrong with the melodics of Billys' work on the piano. He is amongst the greatest story tellers of our time. Ballads like his are few and far between anymore. And the variety in his lyrics leave you with something to feel good about anytime you hear his music. He is not a one topic musician. He throws his little spins on just about every life topic you can think of. If you ever get a chance to see him perform live, I highly recommend it. I saw him play at Tampa Stadium with Elton John. It is a beautiful thing to see 60,000 people singing and dancing to 2 of the best piano players of our time. Billy knows how to work a crowd. His on stage persona reflects in his music. This 2 disc set brings me back to that experience EVERY TIME I pop it in the CD player. I hope you enjoy as well as I have over the years. Michael.
