Greatest Hits: Volume I & Volume II (Double

Product Information

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. The original volumes have been the subject to some criticism in audiophile terms, being accused of sounding rather lifeless. If this is the case, this is usually the source of the skipping issue due to the quality of the needle. Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly.

Apparently the 3 lip box version is just as good but is pricier (now, that ahem, would make a great gift! com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. The music actually encourages you to increase the volume, which is exactly what I did but four notches on my pre-amp, allowing Joel to belt out his music and for the detail to spring to life.

Yes, we play-test all of our albums to ensure they are playing properly without skips or sound issues.

The initial 1985 release has "Honesty" as the third track on disc 2, second pressings onward had "Don't Ask Me Why" as the third track, and the 1998 remaster has "Don't Ask Me Why" as the fifth track on disc 2. As for mastering, the sound quality is a tad warm and I thought that dynamics were just a bit constricted, I wanted the music to really let loose but, on the whole, the sonics remain very attractive. Volume III contains hits from 1983 to 1997 and also includes three previously unreleased tracks "To Make You Feel My Love", "Hey Girl", and "Light As the Breeze".You're Only Human (Second Wind)" later featured on the compilation The Ultimate Collection released in 2000, and on disc 15, Collected Additional Masters, of The Complete Albums Collection box set, released in 2011. That's why each of our records is first meticulously cleaned and then not just inspected once, but twice, before a sample is play-tested to make sure it sounds as good as it looks. EX (Excellent): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality.

The compilation includes two previously unreleased tracks, "You're Only Human (Second Wind)" and "The Night Is Still Young". This review is about the remastered version, which is the one to get - the original release has abridged versions of several songs, while this version has the longer studio album versions. Ethan Larsh, an artist known for his exploration of various genres and musical mediums, consistently demonstrates his ability to craft authentic and sometimes deeply personal lyrics. Joel's melodic flair does the rest, filling out tunes with comprehensive arrangements, towering harmonies, and a swift sense of purpose.Contrary to some sources, the sax solo on " New York State of Mind" was never re-recorded by Phil Woods for the release of Greatest Hits.
