    I found this record at a flea market in a surprisingly good condition. The previous owner clearly treasured the record. The sound is just gorgeous, not a single pop or crack was heard. Only some dust problems, but its solving very easy. The print quality is also super, but unfortunately the sleeve has aged a little. But the main thing is that the record sounds great. I were also pleased with the inner sleeves with beautiful illustrations.

        Great sound overall, a NM copy I bought from UK does have some pops but nothing too bad for a 35 year old LP, fun to listen to, crank it up and enjoy the beautiful vocals and music that is Billy Joel! You can tell the mid 80's tunes are more bright and digital sounding that the original stuff he put out in the 70's and earliest 80's, but still a great collection and worth getting!
