Billy Joel is an angry man, I feel like the @zdkaiser would respect that.

And the time he did this



Which apparent caused him to not be invited back for 30 years.

Maybe or that he hasn’t released a new album of popular music since 1993.

Songs in the Attic is brilliant! Get that one.

Ok I need some advice.

I've got $57 in music direct credit.

Current thoughts is between Billy Joel 52nd Street MoFi or Miles Davis Round About Midnight super vinyl.

Other options are the other billy joel albums that music direct is price gouging on, like Songs in the Attic.

Thoughts/opinions?

For all the Billy Joel hate, getting that box set for like $50, when such deals happened, was amazing. The pressing quality is great and I get into it when I pull those out. Ear worms from childhood can be a good time on the rare occasion.

Used to have al up to 52nd street....lost them (or got rid o f them) in the great shut down and purging of the mid 2000's......in any event, only one i would consider bringing back would be Turnstiles. Start to finish Joel perfection.

Fremer must have accidentally spilled the beans Grievous Angel is the next RHF.
5k might take a while...

Would have greatly preferred G.P. as I don’t believe that one has seen a recent audiophile reissue and I need it. The VMP Grevious Angel was great, so I don’t think I need to double dip here.

I don’t have Grevious Angel on wax so I will probably grab it.

It's like they have no situational awareness of the people they just gave a license to.
I don't know how many VMP pressed but that surely took out a large section of sales opportunity.

Rhino is an odd bird...


I like "Las Vegas" but not sure I'm ready to go in on this album.
So much other stuff available today and this one will be available for a good while.

Maybe Rhino should join the Discogs Help thread, where they can learn the tricks like that MFer was just pressed a few years ago.

I feel like a lot of the reissue labels are like this. Take Johnny Cash’s At Folsom Prison, VMP, Mofi and regular reissues all came within a year or two of each other. There’s many other albums from artists like this that deserve quality treatment.

It is a great album, I find most Gram Parsons pretty essential (which is why G.P. is high on my list, I have every other studio album he made during his lifetime on vinyl).
