Billy Joel "Stranger" 30th Anniv. versus Japanese

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


   The Stranger 30th Anniversary box set is out and features a bonus concert from '77 and a live DVD of the Old Grey Whistle test show from '78.  Great stuff and nice booklet for sure.  It was worth it to me just to watch a video of Joel at his peak.  

But a more important question.  How does the remastering of the new 30th anniversary edition compare to the Japanese mini-LP sleeve edition?  

I'd love to hear from anyone who has heard both versions.  My opinion is the Japanese  version has better clarity while the new version is louder.
