Billy Joel, An Innocent Man, 1983 on Columbia / Family Productions

Billy Joel’s ninth studio LP, with the title track, “Uptown Girl,” and “The Longest Time” as big hits. Toots Thielemans joins on harmonica on “Leave a Tender Moment Alone.”

Some people might put Billy Joel in the “guilty pleasures” column – I probably did in 1983 – but I’ve really come to appreciate him. Guess I’m getting old.

My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is a 1983 Carrollton US pressing with the original printed inner sleeve.

Billy Joel, Glass Houses, 1980 on Columbia / Family Productions

Billy Joel’s 7th studio album, produced by Phil Ramone. The house on the cover is was Joel’s own home in Cove Neck, Long Island.

A harder rocking Billy Joel here, with “You May Be Right,” “It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me,” and “Don’t Ask Me Why” – lots of big hits – a Billboard #1 in the US.

My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is a Pittman pressing with inner liner.
