REVISED!!! Billy Joel: Segues
The following represents what the Segue Service would recommend to enthusiasts who would like to create a homemade boxed set, expanding upon the ideas originated in Greatest Hits Volumes I, II, and III. Some interesting album tracks throughout his career were overlooked presumably due to space limitations. Four sides, either 50 or 55 minutes in length, are attempted here to create conceptual progressions which were not possible within the context of individual albums. The Service feels that this attempt is worthwhile, satisfying, and more comprehensive than the available greatest hits discs or boxed set. We welcome your critique. Feel free to contact the proprietor of the service at baw3@pop.pitt.edu for comments, or requests for contracted service.
