Greatest Hits: Volume I & Volume II (Double

Product Information

You're Only Human (Second Wind)" later featured on the compilation The Ultimate Collection released in 2000, and on disc 15, Collected Additional Masters, of The Complete Albums Collection box set, released in 2011. Not always better than an original, provided you could find one in mint condition, but often that's impossible. Yes, we play-test all of our albums to ensure they are playing properly without skips or sound issues. These copies are all used in very good shape, we will also be carrying the new Billy Joel Greatest hits re-issue with Piano Man, and other greats songs in 200 gram with vinyl when it is released.

Billy Joel Greatest Hits is one of the most brilliant albums ever, hailing from New York state, Billy Joel worked the East-Coast club scene until his greatness led to bigger venues. There’s no smearing or bloom and the balance, especially in how the vocal sits alongside the piano and background music, is judged well. With the exception of maybe leaving off "Honesty" and "Leave The Tender Moment Alone" (I dont think the album suffers at all from leaving these two off) this is one of the best greatest hits packages put together for an artist. Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands. The sacrifice is the omission of "Honesty" which was on the original release, replaced by "Don't Ask Me Why".Joel's melodic flair does the rest, filling out tunes with comprehensive arrangements, towering harmonies, and a swift sense of purpose. brings together the artist’s first six solo studio albums ( Cold Spring Harbor, Piano Man, Streetlife Serenade, Turnstiles, The Stranger, 52nd Street) with his first live album ( Songs in the Attic) and an exclusive pressing of Live at The Great American Music Hall – 1975, a previously unreleased concert recording available for the first time in the boxset as a double 12″ vinyl album. Fissinger’s musical approach is refreshingly uncomplicated, allowing the beauty of the song’s simplicity to shine through. Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch.

Corners may have damage or creases and there may be scratches or gouges that otherwise damage the artwork. A question for all you Joelheads out there which has been bothering me and I can’t find and answer anywhere - why is An Innocent Man not included on this?

The music actually encourages you to increase the volume, which is exactly what I did but four notches on my pre-amp, allowing Joel to belt out his music and for the detail to spring to life. Escapando del Maestro (El Adoctrinador)” is a track that exemplifies the fusion of synth-inspired sounds with . At least that was the original plan from MFSL, and would contain both Honesty and Don't Ask Me Why, and the other four tracks omitted from the original vinyl release.
