As another installment in our Billy Joel 180 Gram Audiophile Master Series, we are proud to announce the Friday Music exclusive release of his all out rock tour de force Storm Front.

Recorded in 1989 with the Foreigner's Mick Jones as producer, Joel's new direction proved him correct as the album sailed to the top number one spot of the charts and maintained massive radio play with five huge hit singles for the better part of two years!

Includes the number one We Didn't Start The Fire, the rocker I Got To Extremes and the tender ballad And So It Goes, Storm Front was a pivotal release for the Piano Man, and continues to be one of the most loved albums in his massive catalog of recordings.

As with our other highly successful Billy Joel recordings, Storm Front is mastered impeccably from the original Epic Records tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios and with Kevin Gray at AcousTech, and pressed at RTI with Sony Music. This limited edition release also includes a very rare gatefold cover featuring all of the original artwork elements, plus a poly bag for the cover and a poly lined sleeve to protect your vinyl for years of enjoyment.

As another definitive installment in the Billy Joel 180 Gram Audiophile Series, Friday Music is very excited to announce the release of his 1983 classic An Innocent Man. Mastered from the original Columbia Records tapes by Joe Reagoso & Kevin Gray at Friday Music and AcousTech, & pressed by RTI, this album was perfectly recorded for the audiophile in all of us.

His masterwork included a ton of number one singles like Uptown Girl, Tell Her About It, and Leave A Tender Moment Alone.

As Billy Joel's An Innocent Man rode the top of the music charts well over two years from 1983 thru 1985, his popularity grew thanks to the clever videos and exceptional concert tours that followed.

For this limited edition release, a rare one of a kind gatefold cover is also enclosed, which includes the lyrics and photos from the original release.

We believe this will sit proudly alongside all of other fine Billy Joel audiophile releases on Friday Music... Just Keeping The Faith in the audiophile medium... Enjoy.

1982's The Nylon Curtain was a tremendous and resounding success for Billy Joel. Boasting a ton of hit singles and huge radio activity for the better part of the year, this legendary artist truly hit his stride with this amazing release.

With stunning hits like Allentown and Pressure maneuvering this fine album to the top of the charts, The Nylon Curtain showed the highly creative mind of Billy Joel, as the orchestrations, the melodies and the lyrical setting made this one of his most important recordings of his four decade career.

Incredible tracks filled this Phil Ramone produced album such as the the AOR classic Goodnight Saigon, his Christmas fan favorite She's Right On Time, as well as the melancholy closer Where's The Orchestra with its surprise ending.
