She's Got A Way: Love Songs is a perfect distillation of the artist's expressions of love and romance over the course of his life and career. The album brings together some of Billy's finest and most heartfelt performances, iconic hits playing alongside under-appreciated deep catalog selections.

She's Got A Way: Love Songs are the love songs, ballads and sentimental favorites comprising a dream Billy Joel playlist for old and new romantics alike, bringing new context to classics like "Just the Way You Are," "Honesty" and "She's Always a Woman" while rediscovering forgotten masterpieces like "Travelin' Prayer" (the b-side of the "Piano Man" single), Billy's version of "Shameless" (a #1 country smash for Garth Brooks), and the haunting instrumental "Nocturne" (from 1971's Cold Spring Harbor).

A semi-interesting comp actually, but let's see here...we haven't gotten ANY other Deluxe Editions, but we DO get a collection of "love songs"!

Thanks Legacy-great job guys! I also don't see this selling so hot as it only has some hits the typical boob buying this (Jimbo excepted) would know.

They should name this collection after track 15 instead of track 4.

He has less comps than most. It amazes me that people are surprised that labels release comps which are likely to have more of a market than a standard album released with a second cd of crap.

No - 15: 18.

The last comp The Hits absolutely bombed-I disagree.

Why would a compilation necessarily sell better than a re-released regular album? And what CDs have you purchased that have second CDs of crap?

They just may be trying to keep his work out there for the casual buyer. As for more Deluxe Editions, I could be wrong, but I've had the impression that Billy Joel doesn't have a lot of excess material left in the vault. He seemed pretty concise in what he has released over the years. And, as far as live material, I thought I read years ago that his goal was to reproduce the studio sound on stage, so there may not be any really wild live sets out there. I do worry about Billy though; he just doesn't seem that happy in his retirement - unlike say David Bowie.

He should get together with Elton John and do an album where they duet or cover each others songs, inspired by their "Face To Face" tours. That would certainly be more interesting than another comp.

These love songs collections have been a marketing strategy for some years now. Released in January, aimed at Valentine's Day shoppers.

You know, I kept looking for the part of Jimbo's post where it says "I have enough Billy Joel comps already so I'll pass on this one", but for some reason I couldn't find it ....

I have had this one since 2010 which by the way goes for big bucks on Amazon.UK. Same song song selection but different shuffle to the track listing and cover which suits the compliation theme.

Bizarrely, it was reissued just one year later, and the price on that version (which appears to be identical to the original) is fairly cheap:

Yeah Linda, that's the one I have. And you are right, I got it for about $12.00 if I remember.

So you're basing your thoughts on comps based on one release. I didn't think I was putting breaking news on here about compilations.

Quote:

I usually don't buy the deluxe editions as the often don't include much completed unreleased songs and instead include demos and live stuff (really, just release a live album).

So yeah, most deluxe editions don't have very worthwhile stuff.

In any case, collections often have a wider market. We can all buy or not buy what we want, but every week it seems when a hits collection is released, the same tired outrage happens.

:facepalm:

Well, we just disagree then. If I like a band or an album, I want to get as much related material as possible. I do agree with you about the live stuff though. Such material doesn't make a studio album "deluxe" for me and it's really silly when they do so.
