Billy Joel Greatest Hits is one of the most brilliant albums ever, hailing from New York state, Billy Joel worked the East-Coast club scene until his greatness led to bigger venues. This review is about the remastered version, which is the one to get - the original release has abridged versions of several songs, while this version has the longer studio album versions. Also, the live version of "Say Goodbye to Hollywood" was removed and replaced with the studio version from Joel's 1976 album Turnstiles.

The music actually encourages you to increase the volume, which is exactly what I did but four notches on my pre-amp, allowing Joel to belt out his music and for the detail to spring to life. Apparently the 3 lip box version is just as good but is pricier (now, that ahem, would make a great gift! What we have here, for those who actually like the guy, are two albums Greatest Hits Volume I and Volume II, squeezed onto three slabs of vinyl and placed into a sturdy box. I see people going on about how hard to find River of Dreams is on vinyl but I've seen many more of those on sale than I have GHV3.

At least that was the original plan from MFSL, and would contain both Honesty and Don't Ask Me Why, and the other four tracks omitted from the original vinyl release.

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.

It contains nearly every one of Billy Joel's peak-era chart hits as well as a smattering of fan favorites.
