 Here's a beautiful copy of one of Joel's most popular tunes, and one of his hardest singles to find! Like "Tiny Dancer" for Elton John and "Born To Run" for Bruce Springsteen, "Piano Man" wasn't a huge hit when released but came to be one of the defining moments of the singer's career... one that everyone who loves Billy Joel must have in their collection, and there just aren't that many collectable copies floating around out there. Oh by the way, this relatively long (for a 45) song is actually specially edited from a 5:38 album track... Making it even rarer, since you won't find the 45 edit on an LP. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Columbia Records factory sleeve. It has Near Mint labels and vinyl. The audio is close to Mint with almost just a touch of surface noise. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.)
