5.0 out of 5 stars First album show true potential, April 26, 2008

By	R. Engstrom "lifetime musician" (Oregon,USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even thought the album was recorded and then released accidentally recorded at the wrong speed, it still shows the true potential of Billy Joel. Some of the songs have been re-recorded live on later albums but this album is still one of my favorites, along with Streetlife Serenade,Turnstiles,and 52nd Street.

5.0 out of 5 stars OLD IS GOLD _ BILLY JOEL ROCKS, February 24, 2009

By	G. D. Balasubramaniam "GDB" (India) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When i read the release write up i noticed completely "remastered". I am an ardent fan of Billy. Have all his albums which this one i found on the amazon, a must for all Billy joel fans, the remastring of the original track is really worthy of mention.

A must buy a chip from the old block

4.0 out of 5 stars A Cold Spring Harbored, April 4, 2009

By	David D. McFarland "Judemac" (Oceanside, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This one would have got a full "5" stars but the tracks should have been matched up against the original vinyl version in my collection on family records, yes, your saying, but dude, the original album (if your lucky enough to have it) is mastered at the WRONG speed, well, dude's here is why, slow down the tapes and re-master the original! I have the vinyl version on CD as well (got it and a different remaster with different mixing and a longer version of one of the tracks as a bonus for that other version in a trade for rare vocal only Elton John tracks). Here is the deal, Mr Joel PO'ed about this being released sounding so bad because he really was serious about not competing with the Chipmonks releases of the day that it was withdrawn from release (by the way got mine at a Hollywood swap meet at Capital records building on vinyl sealed for 35 USD in 1975)but Billy did not have to worry about it, he put out "Piano Man", it was a huge hit and it was mastered correctly and did not tank like this one when first released in 1970 & the rest, as they say, is history. Still a good album and should be very listenalbe by the average Joel fan.

Music fans, drop by my website for a look, it's googleable "Judemac Forever"
