Billy Joel – 52nd Street (1978, FC 35609)
$15.00
Billy Joel’s 52nd Street is a 1978 Columbia Records LP, catalog FC 35609; the record in this copy is VG+.
After the breakout success of The Stranger, Billy Joel leaned into the jazz clubs and after-hours atmosphere evoked by the album’s title. Horn arrangements and shifting rhythms give songs such as “Zanzibar” a brassy, restless pulse, while “My Life” and “Honesty” show how deftly he could move between pointed pop and openhearted balladry. The result is a distinctly New York record from his late-’70s peak, and this VG+ disc offers a separate copy for collectors seeking the album without assuming a sleeve grade.
