"Piano Man"から"52nd Street"までの5枚のWhite Label Promoをセットにしたボックス。アルファベット順に全曲の歌詞を印刷したブックレットが封入されています。レコードはすべて別々に、写真のような袋に収められています。プロ使用目的に作成された高音質プレスのボックスで、ビリー・ジョエル・コレクションをする場合に最も難渋するモノです。なお、"Piano Man"の白ラベル盤はこのボックスでしか手に入りません。

TV出演時の映像です(The Late Show with Stephen Colbert)
途中ホストに自作曲のベスト5を挙げるように言われ、ビリー本人が選んだのは、想定外の曲ばかりでした。
(でも、"Vienna"と"And So It Goes"は、「僕の最も好きな曲」でしたけどね。)
この速度の英語はなかなか大変ですが、字幕があるので、付けてみました。
"And So It Goes"
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
