Celebrating the 50th anniversary of "Piano Man," a 4-channel SACD & 2-channel hybrid disc is now available!

Piano Man" is an important work from 1973 that defined Billy Joel as a piano singer/songwriter, and also established the term "Piano Man" as a term that would later be used to describe piano singer/songwriters.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of its release, the world's first SACD version of the Quadraphonic LP version, which has never been released in Japan, has been realized. The 4ch SACD layer is a high-quality surround mix of the analog 4ch master mix of the Quadraphonic LP, mastered in DSD for the first time at Sony Music Studio in Japan.

The 2-channel SACD layer is a high-quality stereo mix of the analog 2-channel mix master source newly mastered in DSD, and the CD layer is a newly mastered source converted from the SACD DSD master to PCM.

In addition, DISC2 (high-quality Blu-spec CD2 specification) contains many previously unreleased demos and rare live recordings from the "Piano Man" period, including seven world-first CD-released tracks.

The DVD on DISC3 contains rare live/music video footage, including eight songs that have never been released on DVD before.

In addition, the disc also includes a US press kit from 1973, the Japanese 7" single jacket of "Piano Man", and four reissued replicas of the Japanese LP obi, all of which are included in this coveted fan-approved edition! （Includes lyrics, bilingual translation and commentary.)
