Turnstiles LP

Billy Joel recorded Turnstiles once at Caribou Ranch with a producer he didn't trust, then threw the whole thing out and cut it again himself in New York, this time with the touring band (Doug Stegmeyer, Liberty DeVitto, Russell Javors, Richie Cannata) he'd keep for years. The record stalled at No. 122 on the Billboard 200 and needed Barbra Streisand's 1977 cover of "New York State of Mind" to drag it toward relevance; it's since gone platinum anyway. Stubbornness, vindicated.
