Billy Joel – The Stranger (Original US Pressing, Columbia AL34987, Third Cut)

$20.00

An original US pressing of Billy Joel's landmark 1977 album The Stranger, released on Columbia Records (AL34987). This copy features the matrix AL34987-3AB — a third lacquer cut with AB cutter initials from Columbia's mastering facility. Near mint condition throughout.

The Stranger is the album that made Billy Joel a superstar — a masterclass in melodic songwriting and piano-driven pop rock that remains one of the best-selling albums in Columbia Records history. From the cinematic title track to the anthemic "Piano Man"-era follow-through of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," the breezy "Just the Way You Are," the driving "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)," and the irresistible "Only the Good Die Young" — every track is a winner. A superb listening copy in exceptional condition.
