Title: Joel's First BIG Masterpiece!
Product review: This limited edition of the classic Billy Joel album is not to be missed, even by a casual fan. Mobile Fidelity has taken the original analog master tapes and reconstructed the sound quality that rivals the best vinyl (note that this album is also available in 180 gram vinyl now). Always speaking to the middle-class heroes, Joel's 1973 release was an instant hit and the start of an amazing career. How many people memorized the lyrics to "Piano Man" or the hilariously, bittersweet song that is "Captain Jack". In fact the latter song makes a rousing anthemic closing song. Nearly all the songs on this album are pop classics.Note that this SACD is not multi-channel, but stereo. Oh but what a great, clean, crisp, well-rounded sound it has. SACD releases like this do not last and end up in the hundreds of dollars when out of print. But this version is a real keeper.
