2021 marks 50 years since Billy Joel’s debut studio album 'Cold Spring Harbor'. Sony Music's Legacy label will be highlighting Billy Joel’s catalogue for the remainder of the year, with a focus on his early career. One aspect of the campaign will be 'The Vinyl Collection Vol. 1', an 8 album (9LP) boxset that includes Joel’s albums from the 1970s ('Cold Spring Harbor', 'Piano Man', 'Streetlife Serenade', 'Turnstiles', 'The Stranger', '52nd Street') along with 'Songs In The Attic', a live album released in 1981. Also included is a previously unreleased live album, 'Live At The Great American Music Hall', which will only be available in the boxset. The boxset includes a 50+ page booklet that highlights Joel’s early career through photos, quotes and an essay.
