For a man who has only released twelve studio albums

spanning 1971 - 1993, Billy Joel has a large number of rare
and alternate tracks out there to discover. This set hopes to
gather up as many of them as possible to simplify the
search. From the original mix of the ‘Cold Spring Harbor’
LP, released by Family Productions in a mix that Billy himself
hated, due in large part to the fact that it was mastered at
the wrong speed, giving Billy a “Chipmunk-quality” vocal
(the speed has been corrected here), to the two tracks he
recorded for the tribute album ‘The Art Of McCartney’,
released in November 2014, as many rare tracks as
possible have been assembled in this career-spanning
collection. Single-edits, video mixes, live versions, charity-
album releases, duets, and more have been included to give
a broader picture of Billy Joel the recording artist than what
you get from the twelve studio albums alone.
