Arguably Billy Joel's Best
This is an iconic Billy Joel album. There is not one weak track. Every song is is a hit and the placement of the songs on the album make the whole better. From "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" to "Miami 2017" the listener can't go wrong.

a classic
This is a replacement for my original copy, which had been played so many times that surface noise made it unlistenable. Not so with this new record. The background is dead silent. Interesting recording techniques, as the instruments seem to be right up front, but Billy sounds like he is a good 10 feet behind them, with the exception of one of his masterpieces "New York State of Mind" which is right up front. Playback was on a Linn Sondek with a Tavish Design phone pre-amp, and Audio Research preamp and amps (bi-amped) into Sonus Faber Extremas with a Velodyne Sub. Pretty good sound

Another vinyl great recording
Ditto on what I said about 52nd Street. Billy's vinyl kicks butt on his CDs of these classics. Say Goodbye To Hollywood rocks on vinyl. All the CDs I've heard of these great songs, including the remasters, sound weak on bass and lack character. Miami 2017 is a song I never cared for, but have come to like it now that I hear it as it was intended. If you are not familiar with this widely overlooked gem, check it out (in vinyl if you can)and then proceed to his follow-up The Stanger. You can hear a master honing his craft. BJ is among the most prolific songwriters in pop history, and a great singer to boot.

Love me some Billy Joel!!
I have nearly all of Billy Joel's albums. Just wanted some of his older "stuff" and this does not disappoint. He's "my man". Most talented lyricist since Cole Porter!

My favorite Billy Joel album
Every song on this album legit. Billy's got mad skillz on the keys, his pipes are smoking hot, and you can hear it on this record. This came out before Piano Man, so the production value isn't quite as high as some of his later releases, which I love. this is raw Billy Joel at his finest.

Wonderful Album
Arrived on time and sounds wonderful. Did not warp or break in transit and sounds great on a record player from 1970.
