    Billy Joel's fifth album, and quite possibly his most popular and best selling, featuring "Just The Way You Are", "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant" and "She's Always A Woman" - there is a "hidden" track at the end of Side 2 which is basically a whistled reprise of "The Stranger." The recording level is a bit low the amp needs to be turned up a notch.
