Billy Joel reveals 54 unreleased tracks on Turnstiles 50th Anniversary
Long before Billy Joel reached the heights of superstardom, he had already set the stage for his future with the release of his fourth album, Turnstiles, in May 1976. This record featured early hits like New York State Of Mind and Say Goodbye To Hollywood, laying a rich groundwork for the musical journey that followed.
The momentum generated by Turnstiles was crucial, pushing Joel along the path toward his major commercial breakthrough with The Stranger just a year later. While the album itself resonated deeply, the legacy continues to evolve across different creative avenues.
Today, the focus shifts to the ongoing story of the music itself. A successful cover band named Turnstiles continues to live on, recently sharing stages with acts like Vampire Weekend, demonstrating the enduring appeal of Joel’s catalog.
But the celebration doesn’t stop there. Joel has recently announced a major retrospective opportunity for fans, unveiling a 50th-anniversary edition of Turnstiles. This special release will pack a significant punch, offering listeners a staggering collection of 54 previously unreleased tracks.
