Billy Joel
52nd StreetOriginal US Audiophile Half Speed Master LP released in 1980 on Columbia Records. Cat:HC45609. Comes with original fliptop plastic sleeve with stickers on it. Comes with 2 inserts.
Once The Stranger became a hit, Billy Joel quickly re-entered the studio with producer Phil Ramone to record the follow-up, 52nd Street. Instead of breaking from the sound of The Stranger, Joel chose to expand it, making it more sophisticated and somewhat jazzy. Often, his moves sounded as if they were responses to Steely Dan indeed, his phrasing and melody for "Zanzibar" is a direct homage to Donald Fagen circa The Royal Scam, and it also boasts a solo from jazz great Freddie Hubbard à la Steely Dan but since Joel is a working-class populist, not an elitist college boy, he never shies away from big gestures and melodies. Consequently, 52nd Street unintentionally embellishes the Broadway overtones of its predecessor, not only on a centerpiece like "Stiletto," but when he's rocking out on "Big Shot."
Tracks: Big shot/ Honesty/ My life/ Zanzibar/ Stiletto/ Rosalinda’s eyes/ half a mile away/ Until the night/ 52nd street.
