Description
The Nylon Curtain is the eighth studio album by Billy Joel and one of the most ambitious and atmospheric records of his career.
Originally released in 1982 and produced by Phil Ramone, the album explores themes of social change, economic uncertainty and the changing American dream, while combining Billy Joel's distinctive songwriting with richly layered and adventurous studio production.
Featuring the classics Allentown, Pressure and Goodnight Saigon, alongside standout tracks including Laura, She's Right On Time, Scandinavian Skies and Where's The Orchestra?, The Nylon Curtain remains one of Billy Joel's most acclaimed and distinctive studio albums.
Pressing Notes
UK CBS reissue of The Nylon Curtain, catalogue number 460186 1, issued during the mid to late 1980s.
This copy features the documented 460186 1 A1 / 460186 1 B1 matrix combination, identifying it as the UK 460186 1 reissue edition.
The A1/B1 matrices are first cuts for this particular reissue catalogue number, but this should not be confused with the original 1982 UK first pressing, which was issued under the earlier CBS catalogue number 85959.
A desirable UK analogue reissue of one of Billy Joel's most ambitious albums, retaining the original nine-track album configuration.
