Fantastic fan-made collection which gathers up an incredible amount of rare Billy Joel tracks, all taken from top sources. From single edits to extended versions to live tracks to duets with different artists, this set has it all. It features a fantastic speed-corrected version of the original mix of the rare vinyl-only 1971 pressing of Cold Spring Harbor and it only gets better from there. The promo-only live Souvenir LP is also included, as is the fill-length promotional Billy Joel Interview LP from 1981 (issued to promote Songs In The Attic). Everything here sounds great, including the ultra rare live track Christmas In Fallujah, issued as a promo only CD single in Australia. There's a disc which focuses on the many duets he has been a part of over the past 25 years or so, all tracked down from the original albums (some of which are near impossible to find today). Contains a DVD of 25 promotional music video from throughout his recording career. This set is a must own for any Billy Joel fan, and is the perfect gift!
