Editorial Reviews

Having created so many great songs during his extensive career, it must have been difficult to choose only 19 tracks to designate as the very best of Billy Joel. Among the selections found on this recording are Movin' Out, Only The Good Die Young, Don't Ask Me Why, Tell Her About It, and so many more! This recording has been mastered by the K2 HD format of 24-bit 100kHz, which creates an unbelievable sound surpassing other formats! 24-Bit/100kHz Mastering! This K2 HD Mastering CD will play on ALL CD players. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This review is from: Piano Man: The Very Best of Billy Joel (Audio CD)

Billy Joel is the Frank Sinatra of a different era. I am an Audio Engineer/Producer.

That said, don't waste your money on this so called HD edition. CD audio is decimated to 44k, 16bit audio no matter the mastering. If you want high quality, you need to purchase SACD's or a DVD Audio format...both require something other than a CD player to listen to them. In truth the vinyl versions of Billy Joel would sound BETTER than this overpriced CD. The SACD's sound wonderful!

This high priced album is after your money, not your ears. Skip this.
