I prefer this version to the CBS remixed one, but whatever version, its a great song:)

Even this speeded-up version "reveals" the genius of Billy Joel. This simple melody is still one of his best. My song to my lady for 30 years at least. "A smile that heals me"....brilliant.

Actually The Original Vocals To This Song Isn't Bad , I Bought This Song From I-tunes With New Vocal But The Same 1971 Music Arrangement

@mitchlawmd It's one of his favourite songs (of his own), actually. He just dislikes the recording.

Yeah, this was a manufacturing and mastering mistake. They changed the speed, like you would on a record player from 33 to 45, and this was the result. So glad this didn't end his career though.

No wonder Billy Joel hates this song! The record made him sound like the Bee Gees!

@chaoreturnsforgood76 Though the original copies of Cold Spring HArbor are rare and are out of print, you can sometimes see a copy for sale up on eBay. It'll cost you a pretty penny, but it's worth it.

@jmillzz2 he said that he had a listening party with all his friends, and they all started laughing when they heard it. He then took it outside and threw it like a frisbee down the street.

Yep, the production was so bad on the album..speeded up to sound like helium, Billy disappeared and went to work at a piano bar under the name Billy martin, The song Piano man is about that gig and he used to sing a song he wrote called Captain Jack. Someone recorded it and a station played it..got great feedback. Cold Spring is a fucking great album.his writing is incredible and the songs are fantastic. I know someone who has one of the 11 originals in print.
