52nd Street Vinyl
Billy Joel’s 52nd Street is a smooth, swaggering classic that cemented his place in pop-rock royalty. Originally released in 1978, this sixth studio album sees Joel diving into jazz-inflected territory while still serving up the pop-rock hooks fans adore. It features the unforgettable hits “Big Shot,” “My Life,” and the horn-soaked cool of “Zanzibar.”
Backed by top-tier session musicians and produced by the legendary Phil Ramone, 52nd Street radiates polish and confidence. The album feels like a late-night walk through New York City - gritty, stylish, and full of stories. Joel’s songwriting is sharper than ever, blending cynicism and charm, especially on tracks like “Stiletto” and “Half a Mile Away.”
This standard-weight black vinyl pressing gives the original analog warmth a chance to shine once again. Whether you're rediscovering it or spinning it for the first time, this pressing is a great way to experience an album that scooped up the Grammy for Album of the Year in 1980.
Sassy, jazzy, and full of bite, 52nd Street is Joel at his most musically adventurous. It’s not just another stop in his discography - it’s a destination.
