This budget-priced trio of Billy Joel albums gathers his major label debut, PIANO MAN, his definitive 1970s album, 52ND STREET, and his groundbreaking live album, recorded in 1987 in glasnost-era Russia, KOHUEPT. PIANO MAN contains the essential DNA of Joel's career, from the memorable title track to the world-weary "Somewhere Along the Line," while 52ND STREET has three Joel classics in "Big Shot," "Honesty," and "My Life." Documenting one of the first large-scale public appearances in Russia by a Western pop artist, KOHUEPT features most of Joel's biggest hits, and also includes versions of the Beatles' "Back in the U.S.S.R." and Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are a Changin'."
