BILLY JOEL
THE STRANGER
180 GRAM VINYL LP
RELEASE ALL NEW & UNPLAYED
Billy Joel has become the sixth best-selling
recording artist and the third best-selling solo artist in the United
States. He has had multiple Top 10 hits in the '80s and '90s, all of
which he wrote singlehandedly. He is also a six-time Grammy Award
winner, has sold over 100 million records worldwide and was inducted
into almost every Hall of Fame there exists. Joel retired from recording
pop music in 1993 but continues to tour, often with Elton John.
'The
Stranger' is his fifth studio album, originally released in 1977. While
his four previous albums had been moderate chart successes, this was
his breakthrough album. It remains Joel's best-selling non-compilation
album to date. 'The Stranger' contains nine songs, many of which are now
considered "classic Joel". Much of the album's success is attributed to
Joel's collaboration with producer Phil Ramone, whose innovative
production methods complemented Joel's songs. This fruitful
collaboration would continue for a decade.
