Album Review

Billy Joel's four-disc The Complete Hits Collection 1973-1997: Limited Edition reissues his three Greatest Hits collections and adds a live rarities collection previously released in a limited-edition Australian box set to commemorate the River of Dreams tour. The songs on Greatest Hits, Vols. 1 & 2 have been restored to their album length and have been subjected to fine 20-bit remastering, and there is a 44-page booklet with handwritten lyrics, an essay, and previously unseen photographs.

Customer Reviews

Get Rid Of The Explicit.

Now there are many innopropiate songs on I Tunes but Billy Joel's songs should not be in that catagory. His songs are great and all of them are on this collection but the Explicit should be put away from any Billy Joel Albums. If You like Billy Joel get these songs and ignore the Explicit.

Highlights of a Great Career

Most of the hits you would expect to be here are indeed included in this collection. Possibly the most fun is the fourth disc which contains a live performance by Billy Joel interspersed with plenty of talk on his career, inspirations, and views on music. I could do without a few of the songs but that's a small criticism of nearly 4 dozen great songs at a good price.

Classic

This is the definitive Billy Joel "hits" collection, and while I'm sure that everyone has a favorite song that wasn't included (I would have liked to see "This Night"), all of the big hits are included. Hands down, the best part of this collection is the fourth "disc," which is a question and answer session with music interspersed. For a fan, it's great to get to hear him talk so candidly about his music and his experiences. It doesn't hurt that he has a great sense of humor.
