This isn't new. Though an import, it has been readily available for many many months. Also available at places like Circuit City and Tower.
I cannot think of one single reason to recommend it. Aren't there too many Joel comps out there as it is?
Buy the Billy Joel box and be done with it.

It's indeed not new...it's "from the vaults." Just posted it for someone like Jimbo who desperately needs another Billy Joel comp. :D

You should do a "citizen's banning" of Steve for dissing this compilation, Chris. I've got to believe that there are at least as many people dying to get this album as there were for the Creedence Clearwater Revisited collection ...

And I can think of at least one reason not to: Where is "You May Be Right"? Not a hit in the country generating the comp?

BTW Linda, any CCR without Fogerty should be called Creedence Clearwater Regurgitated. Just my opinion.

Yeah, I know, I'm banned. But it is Monday and if I don't get banned at least once on Monday, it just aint right.

If we include box sets, imports, and promos, I'm sure I already have 8 or 10 Billy Joel comps. Enough is enough! Or is it...?

"52nd Street" and "The Stranger" are the ones for me. But I also like his breakthrough signature song, "Piano Man", a rare case of a song where I actually pay attention to the lyrics.

I loved "River Of Dreams" but I didn't buy his "classical" album.

But if Jimbo already owned every song on this compilation, he obviously wouldn't buy it. Would he?

If memory serves me right, Mr. Joel always tells his fans "and don't take any shit from anybody!"

Doesn't a useless compilation such as this one fall into that category? :ohyes:
