Hopefully, these first pressings I am listing will go to a hardcore Billy Joel fan who will appreciate them for the next 40+ years!

General Description….All the albums I am listing are from my own personal record collection dating from circa 1977.   

A lot of my albums from the 1977-80 came from a guy who worked with the record labels, so were very likely promotional copies, imports and sometimes included coloured vinyl’s and all in their cellophane wrappers.

These vinyl albums are all First Pressings and were bought new except where I state otherwise in the description. From new, the album sleeves have all been protected by clear plastic record sleeves which accounts for the superb condition of the covers.  Where an album has a gate-fold sleeve, I have obviously removed the clear cover to take the photo for the listing.  I did not remove the sleeve for Single album.

In short, you are buying superb quality records which have only been lightly played on quality sound equipment.  Everything a discerning record collector is looking for.
