Notes:

Counterfeit reissue. Ways to spot:
- Solid-color label artwork does not contain the "constellation" of stars within the bear artwork.
- Says "D.J. COPY" on left side of spindle hole, genuine promo copies always say "PROMOTIONAL NOT FOR SALE" on the label.
- Cover is one-piece fold-and-glue construction; originals used a paste-on rear cover slick.
- Rear photo is grainier than originals: Billy Joel's hands have less detail, the wine bottle labels are also grainier.
- All runout data, including counterfeit Monarch "MR" mark, is etched.

"Speeded Up" sound, as on original, legitimate album.

Some variants of this counterfeit pressing have a sloppily hand-drawn Monarch Records logo on the Side A runout groove dead-wax.

Recorded at Record Plant West, except "Why Judy Why" and "You Look So Good To Me" which were recorded at Ultrasonic Recording Studios.

Distributed by Famous Music Corporation.

The original, legitimate album was lacquer-mastered at the incorrect speed [approximately 8% faster. Also, due to its rarity, numerous counterfeit versions can be found, including this one.
