The song selection from these three cds is excellent.
What a steal to get three of Billy's cds for less than four bucks!
Yes, his Russia tour was precedent setting at the time. Yet, for me, the coolest thing is that a pianist in my family bought the actual grand piano that Billy used in this Russian concert tour. And believe me, it has it's own magic still!

Not a bad three-pack from the Piano Man, including the albums "Piano Man", "52nd Street", and the live album "Kohuept", as performed in the former USSR.

"Piano Man" and "52nd Street" are both essential Billy Joel classics, and contain such songs as "Travelin' Prayer", "Piano Man", "Ballad of Billy the Kid", "Captain Jack", "Honesty", "Big Shot", "My Life", and "Stiletto". The inclusion of "Kohuept" I think is somewhat debatable.... it's a live disc, so the music is not of the highest quality, although there's a lot of hits on the album. Kohuept is unique more for the concert itself and what it represented at the time (playing in the communist USSR) than for the actual music, and is interesting, but not as good for a collector's pack as say... "Glass Houses", "The Stranger", or "An Innocent Man".

All told though, 3 solid albums, and worthy additions to any collection. The Piano Man is great, and this is a pretty economical way to pack in three of his classics.
