Description
Artist: Billy Joel
Title: Piano Man
Pressing: Japanese CBS/Sony 25AP-952
Format: Vinyl LP 33 1/3
Condition:
Vinyl is in EX condition, fully tested. Well cared for copy, stored properly over the years. The record retains a strong glossy sheen with only very light surface signs visible under direct light. No deep scratches observed.
Playback is clean, stable, and detailed with excellent clarity. No skips, no repeating clicks. Only minimal background noise typical of vintage vinyl.
Labels are sharp and well preserved with minimal wear.
Sleeve & Contents:
Original picture sleeve is in VG+ condition, structurally solid with light edge wear and minor age-related handling. Colors remain vibrant and overall presentation is clean.
Includes original OBI strip, intact and well preserved with light aging.
Also includes original Japanese insert/lyric sheet, complete and in solid condition, showing some natural age toning consistent with vintage copies.
Playback Experience:
Delivers a warm, rich sound with excellent channel separation and low surface noise, characteristic of high-quality Japanese pressings.
Pressing Details:
CBS/Sony 25AP series Japanese pressing, known for superior vinyl quality, quieter surfaces, and reliable playback performance.
Collector’s Note:
A complete Japanese copy (vinyl + obi + insert) in this condition is increasingly harder to find. The combination of EX vinyl, intact obi, and original insert makes this a highly desirable piece for collectors and audiophiles.
Final Thoughts:
This is not just a standard copy — it is a well-preserved, complete Japanese pressing with strong collector appeal and excellent sound quality.
