Stranger: 30th Anniversary [VINYL]

There was a manufacturing error, with Bit's of vinyl stuck to the surface, Sent it back for a refund.

This album is a classic. Billy Joel's vocal is recorded so great, that it's hard to do bether.The recording is fantastic. Lots of my favorite recordings are from 70's early 80's. My mother played this record a lot. I never had it on CD, but bought the SACD sice I remember it was some great songs on it. Another reason is that I like to buy SACD's (sad it's so little titles out on this format)I can't compare to CD sound, and only play it in 2 channel. Don't have or wan't to listen to music 5.1. I like music 2 channel with my fantastic proac response D25 and Rel stadium III sub. The only album I liked 5.1 was Dark side of the moon. The other SACD's I have heard is a mess!! who wan't drums and guitars in the surround speakers. If you have a great hi-fi settup, you will easy fill the room with sound, in a much more realistic way than 5.1.

Purchased this for my 16 ye3ar old granddaughter who is really into her vinyl and she had requested this album for Christmas. it took longer to arrive than expected, but I was kept informed by seller.Arrived well packaged. She loves it!

Great value for money

At first I wasn't quite sure of the added value of the SACD, but then upon hearing my older CDs I realised - the vocals really pop out on this one. They have depth, nuance and a dynamic range far better than previous versions. Terrific.

all tracks brilliant, shows what a great song writer billy is .Excellent reproduction on 180gm vinyl.

I know purists probably love this CD as it is a faithful copy of the original, and as such is very nice.However I have bought a number of duplicate CD's in recent years because the re-mastering process seems to have enhanced the bass. This did not happen on this recording. This is the first time I have actually had to find the bass control on my amplifier and turn it up.

Billy Joel brought out 12 albums and the last one in 1993. The Stranger is at the top of the list and is outstanding as it has for me the two best songs he ever wrote and performed, namely, Vienna and Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.

Great songs. Billy Joel is a genius. The product is good.

L'unica pecca è che non c'è il libretto con i testi delle canzoni, come in edizione originale, ma solo un tot di paginette interne di foto.

I like this vinyl.

Good quality record. sounds great

Quality product. As advertised.
