About this deal
Thank you, you are of course correct, I should have made clear that I am NOT a Billy Joel fan, and that for anyone who wants all the early hits in one package this is a good compilation. Yes, we play-test all of our albums to ensure they are playing properly without skips or sound issues. The initial 1985 release has "Honesty" as the third track on disc 2, second pressings onward had "Don't Ask Me Why" as the third track, and the 1998 remaster has "Don't Ask Me Why" as the fifth track on disc 2. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.
The original volumes have been the subject to some criticism in audiophile terms, being accused of sounding rather lifeless. Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands. If you’d like to file an allegation of infringement, you’ll need to follow the process described in our Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy. There’s no smearing or bloom and the balance, especially in how the vocal sits alongside the piano and background music, is judged well.Also, the live version of "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" was removed and replaced with the studio version from Joel's 1976 album Turnstiles.
Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. Not always better than an original, provided you could find one in mint condition, but often that's impossible. To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies.
Mastered from the original master tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, Mobile Fidelity's pristine reissue of this ubiquitous classic finally does justice to the Hall of Fame caliber music.
