 (1 Customer Review)
This edition of COLD SPRING HARBOR is an Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as a video clip for the song "Everybody Loves You Now."
Digitally remastered by Ted Jensen (Sterling Sound, New York, New York).
Billy Joel's melodic gifts were very much in evidence on his first album, more so because the rest of his talents still had some catching up to do. COLD SPRING HARBOR contains the lovely devotional ballad "She's Got a Way," which became a hit when a live version was released more than a decade later (on SONGS IN THE ATTIC). It also features a couple of frenetically catchy melodies in "Everybody Loves You Now" and "Falling of the Rain" (whose arpeggiated piano playing would become a Joel trademark).
The words often seem like afterthoughts--something to sing the melodies with--but there sure are a lot of them. "Everybody Loves You Now," about the isolation of fame (did he know something even then?), has more verses than you'd think anyone could fit into two and a half minutes. The original album was mistakenly sped up in the mastering process and was long a source of embarrassment to Joel. It quickly went out of print and remained so until Columbia released a corrected version in 1984, finally giving fans the chance to hear where it all began.
Recorded at Record Plant West, Los Angeles, California & at Ultrasonic Studios, Hempstead, New York.
Personnel: Billy Joel (vocals); Larry Carlton, Don Evans, "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow, Sal De Troia (guitar); Al Campbell, L.D. Dixon (piano, keyboards, synthesizers); Rhys Clark, Mike McGee, Danny Siewell (drums, percussion).
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Billy Joel Cold Spring Harbor Songs Cold Spring Harbor Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)  First Solo Attempt
This is a nice enough, innocuous, little “singer/songwriter” initial attempt, but the record is more of a novelty item than anything else. I refer to the fact that when it was first released on the small local/independent label, it was mastered at the wrong speed, making the vocals sound higher pitched than what they already were. I have a copy of that original vinyl, and as I recall it doesn’t sound as bad as the stories would lead you to believe – in other words it doesn’t sound like the "Chipmunks" doing Billy Joel. As I recall, the other part of the sob story was that Joel’s manager, or management company, at the time was a big time crook in terms of taking Joel to the cleaners from a financial standpoint. But that wasn’t unusual for the time, as apparently most artists of the day didn’t know what an “attorney” was and didn’t know they needed legal protection. But back to the music – I guess the big song on the album was the first cut – She’s Got a Way, which actually didn’t even become a hit until several years afterwards when it was re-released on a later Columbia compilation or maybe it was a live album.
