    Happened upon this and needed research due to the "apex" pressing. Excellent record, really big sound.

      From '78, here's another great collection of Billy Joel hits. Some great singles and otherwise quality songwriting here.
      Highlights include "My Life", "Big Shot", and "Honesty", but you knew that already.

      Expertly mixed and the pressing sounds excellent. Recommended.
