Billy Joel: The Stranger versie op CD in remastered editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Columbia op 5. december 2005.

With the 1977 album "The Stranger", Billy Joel had his long-awaited breakthrough. The album was produced by Phil Ramone, who had worked with Simon & Garfunkel among others, and helped Joel turn his already accomplished arrangements and heartfelt lyrics into real hits. None of his previous ballads hit the heart like "Just The Way You Are", which won him a Grammy for Song of the Year in 1979. The album, which ranked 67th on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, also won a Grammy. Joel's voice is full of bittersweet wistfulness, exuberant energy and a dedication to the working class that could have come from Bruce Springsteen. With great dynamism, he renders rich details in vivid colors and makes wistful feelings ring out. Slightly less subtle, on the other hand, were the lyrics to "Only The Good Die Young", in which a boy tries to seduce his Catholic girlfriend. Although the girlfriend eventually claims her innocence, the song has been banned as "anti-Catholic" on many American radio stations. However, this ban garnered even more attention, as Joel reported in 2008.

Album valt binnen het genre Rock, Pop, Vocaal, Pop Rock en Soft Rock.
