Billy Joel – 52nd Street
Released: 1978
Genre: Jazz, Rock, Pop
Style: Pop Rock, Ballad, Latin Jazz
The follow-up to The Stranger. It’s got that classic gritty New York feel: Joel leaning against a grimy alley wall, trumpet in hand, dressed like a late-’70s jazz-club regular. The title refers to the Manhattan street famous for its jazz clubs during the 1940s–50s.
Charley Pride – The Best Of Charley Pride
Genre: Folk, World, & Country
Style: Country
Released: 1978
It’s part of RCA’s long-running “Best Of” series, issued after Pride’s incredible string of No. 1 country hits through the early and mid-’70s.
It was pressed at RCA’s Indianapolis or Hollywood plant, depending on your copy — you can tell from the deadwax etchings (“I” for Indy, “H” for Hollywood).
Neil Diamond – 12 Greatest Hits, Vol. II
Released: 1982
Genre: Rock, Pop
Style: Soft Rock
It’s the follow-up to his 12 Greatest Hits from 1974, capturing his late-’70s through early-’80s Columbia era — slicker production, a little more pop polish, and a very introspective Neil on that cover (barefoot in white linen, looking like he’s reflecting on Forever in Blue Jeans).
