VIA PRESS RELEASE | Get ready to add some serious depth to your vinyl collection with Billy Joel—The Vinyl Collection, Vol.2!
Following on from The Vinyl Collection, Vol.1, this box set picks up where it left off and delves into the next phase of Billy’s extraordinary career. Featuring his chart-topping hits like “Uptown Girl,” “Allentown,” “A Matter of Trust,” and “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” The Vinyl Collection, Vol.2 brings together all of Billy’s massively successful 1980s albums and his final studio album, River of Dreams. But that’s not all!
The set also includes an exclusive 2LP pressing of Fantasies & Delusions, an instrumental album showcasing Billy’s classical piano compositions, as well as the first-ever audio edition of Billy Joel—Live from Long Island. This electrifying concert, which took place at the Nassau Coliseum in 1982, is widely regarded as one of Billy’s best performances of the era, and its inclusion in this box set is an essential addition to the classic Billy Joel catalog.
All titles have been sourced from the original album masters and carefully prepared for this release by the legendary Ted Jensen with lacquers cut by Joe Nino Hernes. The box set also includes a 60+ page booklet featuring personal observations and insights from Billy Joel himself, an informative essay by Rob Tannenbaum, rare photos and memorabilia from the era, and more.
