Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Billy Joel's breakthrough gets a big 30th birthday celebrationNew York native Billy Joel released his fifth album The Stranger in November of 1977. Prior to The Stranger, Billy was almost seen as a pop one-hit wonder thanks to the title track from his 1973 album Piano Man (despite the fact FM rock stations played "Captain Jack" and "New York State of Mind"). However, pop radio ignored him. It was in the summer of 1977 that Billy and producer Phil Ramone (famed for work with The Carpenters and Paul Simon) went into A&R Recording Studios in New York to record Billy's fourth album for Columbia, which (had it not sold) might have been his last time at bat. Is the album the classic it is or some artifact from a bygone time, read on and find out. We start the album with a great rocker out of "Movin' ... Read More: Rating: - 30 years?Where'd it all go? Still sounds just as good, although the last song, everybody has a dream, still sounds like a left over from turnstiles or earlier. Live piece from 77 is good although sounds almost exactly like songs in the attic. Best Buy had a 3rd live disc with it, a piece of the famous bottom line show from around that era. I have it on tape and Billy had a grand time acting like paul simon, springsteen and others. Rating: - Packaging gone crazy - size does matter !!!excellent service and condition,but why did a double cd get taped into the bottom of a box 3"X12"X15" ??? This meant that it would not fit through the letter box, could not be delivered and had to be collected from the post office The double CD is great value, the live disc took me right back to a Sunday concert at Drury Lane Theatre in 1977.....Was it really that long ago? Memories !!!!!!!!!! Rating: - Could have had a little more included on the CDSWell ten years later, we are treated to yet another remastering of "The Stranger," this time in celebration of the 30th (actually 31st) anniversary of the album. While for most fans who owned the original CD master, then graduated to the 1998 remaster, I'm sure folks would agree there should have been more added to the first CD. There are alternate takes out there, some which made their way onto the "My Lives" boxset. Would have been nice to pad out the full length of the cd with some bonus studio tracks. The live CD is the gem of this re-release. Why has Sony sat on this recording all these years? A remarkable performance, in a location which is notorious for making decent quality recordings (e.g. Chicago IV.) This is almost as good ... Read More: Rating:  - hummmmmmmm........................To begin: Legacy's brilliant edition, since it has us used...well, I do not try to criticize a work that has been judged for the time ... but to me it does not convince ... probably this sound type fm ... the album have good songs .. who can deny the beauty of "just the way you are", "the stranger" and "scenes from....", it is perhaps unfair .... I can not hear more than once ..... I repeat, is my way of thinking .... regarding the booklet is precious ... and the concert over the same .. .. .. |
