The opening trio of songs on 52ND STREET sums up Billy Joel in a nutshell...the attempt to be a rocker ("Big Shot"), the killer piano ballad ("Honesty"), and the catchy pop tune ("My Life"). And they're all great songs, as is the Spector-esque "Until The Night". This 1978 Keel pressing sounds mighty fine, with solid range from top to bottom, a lot of detail to the instrumentation and vocals, and a wide, cinematic soundstage. My copy is in beautiful shape, very clean and quiet, save for a wisp of faint surface noise at the beginning of each side.
