This copy was doing everything right, with both sides earning KILLER Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) grades
Dynamic and open, with driving rhythmic energy – this early pressing brings this great batch of songs to life
Jam packed with hits: “An Innocent Man,” “The Longest Time,” “Tell Her About It,” “Uptown Girl,” “Leave a Tender Moment Alone,” and more – seven singles in all
“An Innocent Man remained on the U.S. Pop album chart for 111 weeks, becoming Joel’s longest charting studio album behind The Stranger.”
4 stars: “…he’s effortlessly spinning out infectious, memorable melodies in a variety of styles, from the Four Seasons send-up ‘Uptown Girl’ and the soulful ‘Tell Her About It’ to a pair of doo wop tributes, ‘The Longest Time’ and ‘Careless Talk.’ Joel has rarely sounded so carefree either in performance or writing, possibly due to ‘Christie Lee’ Brinkley, a supermodel who became his new love prior to An Innocent Man.”
