Billy Joel released his seventh studio album "Glass Houses" in March 1980 on Columbia Records. It spent six weeks at No. 1 on the album charts and contains the huge hits "It's Still Rock And Roll To Me" and "You May Be Right."
This copy of (FC 36384) is from the First Pressing and is in excellent condition. The cover still has most of its original Factory Shrink Wrap attached and along with the Lyrics & Color Photo Inner Sleeve is Near-Mint. Please see the pictures. The disc Test Plays cleanly and is easily VG+ which is as high as I go on vintage vinyl. It was mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound in NYC and this copy was pressed at the Columbia Records plant in Santa Maria, Calif. The Side One dead wax is etched S2 AL 36384 2AD and stamped STERLING TJ.
This album will come with a high quality Anti-Static Round Bottom Inner Sleeve and a sturdy 3 mil. polyethylene Archival Quality Outer Sleeve. It will ship securely in the special corrugated Album Mailer seen in the last picture.
