• Once The Stranger became a hit, Billy Joel quickly re-entered the studio with producer Phil Ramone to record the follow-up, 52nd swarfesconsdenniponepubhetabise.xyzinfod of breaking from the sound of The Stranger, Joel chose to expand it, making it more sophisticated and somewhat jazzy.

• Like Toto's "IV", Sony re-released Billy Joel's "52nd street" with this mutli-channel/stereo release. Like other Sony re-releases, the disc features an improved stereo mix.

• Though 52nd Street went seven times platinum and was the first of Joel's albums to top the Billboard , it is a deep-cut record whose appeal goes well beyond its best-known tracks. It’s marked by jazz flourishes—the title itself invokes the heart of New York's midth-century jazz scene—and the carefully sculpted drama of Broadway, and.
