I think I read somewhere here on the forum that the regular double CD version of Greatest Hits 1 & 2 was done by Ted Jensen during his re-mastering of Billy Joel's catalog. But when they put the Greatest Hits box set together.they substituted a different re-mastering of 1 & 2 (by Joseph M.

This is an awesome box set of Billy Joel's hits! I bought the Complete Albums Collection box set and then I realized I didn't have this one. It's got 4 CDs and a booklet all about Billy which is of course usually what box sets have. The design is great too. I'm a huge Billy Joel fan so this was a must-have.

Palmaccio) instead of the Jensen re-mastering.and then also included Ted's version of Vol. 3 & the 4th disc.I believe that several forum members stated that the re-mastered Greatest Hits 1 & 2 CD in the regular packaging sounded far superior to the version in the GH box set. (I have not replaced my original yet, so I can't comment.) So, if you dig that 4th disc (I do!!), you need the box and the regular CD version of GH 1 & 2!If I am wrong, please correct me!Dexter.

You're Only Human - (studio)36. All About Soul (Remix) - (studio)Interesting, Ultimate does have Modern Woman that GHIII missed, but loses Only the Good Die Young (on Essential and GHI&II) and And So It Goes (on Essential and GHIII). I'm curious, I believe I have the original 1997 release of COMPLETE HITS COLLECTION (4-CD set), but I think it was also reissued in 2001? Would anyone know if the later reissue was remastered or if it uses the same '97 masters?Also, was the original '97 set remastered or did it just use the original Greatest Hits 1-3 master-tapes? IMO, the '97 set sounds super.very clear and sharp.can't really say I hear any noticeable compression? I think Billy Joel's catalog was individually remastered in '98, but does the '97 'Collection' have similar sound to the '98 stuff? I'll try to answer the last question.'

We Didn't Start The Fire' does not have the digital hiccups at the 1:05 and 1:45, however, it does something going on at:52. So anyhow, the sound is very much like the 1998 remasters on the 3rd disc. As far as the 1st two discs go, they sound very much like the Ted Jensen remasters. Whether or not the corrected this stuff in the 2001 edition, I don't know. I think the overall sound is fine and it's worth owning all 3 discs over 'The Essential'. The third volume may not cover a whole lot of ground, but it's the best survey of later Billy songs. Click to expand.I just noticed this post.

I have the '97 4-CD boxed set and just looked at the credits.you are correct about Joe P. Doing the remastering for the first two discs (GH 1 & 2).

So, I guess this was obviously before Ted J.was able to remaster them again in '98. Personally, I've always been OK with the sound quality on the boxed set and haven't felt the need to upgrade, although I've heard that the '98 remasters were very good and have also heard that the recent 2011 remasters are the best yet.Are you happy with the boxed set GH 1 & 2 CDs or have you since bought the GH 1 & 2, 2-CD set.I think someone said it was re-released (the 2-CD set) with the later Ted J. I think I read somewhere here on the forum that the regular double CD version of Greatest Hits 1 & 2 was done by Ted Jensen during his re-mastering of Billy Joel's catalog.

'98 remasters, after the 1997 boxed set came out? Is the sound quality of the newest GH 1 & 2, 2-CD set really night and day from the '97 boxed set version CDs, or are they pretty much similar?If anything, I guess the '97 boxed set version CDs (discs 1 & 2) have unique remastering by Joe P.? I mean, did the Joe P. Remasters ever show up again on other CDs.probably not, as Ted J's remastering has been used since? I'll try to answer the last question.'

Click to expand.It's interesting, I don't own any of the '98 individual remasters, so I've never been able to compare the sound quality of the 1997 boxed set with the '98 CDs. I was happy enough with the box set, so I never upgraded in '98. However, I am hearing that the 2011 remasters are the best yet (although I'm not sure if everyone would agree on this?), and reading some of the posts above, it had been mentioned that GH 1 & 2 on the '97 box was not remastered by Ted J.it was actually remastered by Joe P. (I confirmed this also when I looked at my booklet).I do own THE STRANGER 30th ANNIVERSARY BOX and have compared the STRANGER tracks on that remastered CD with the same tracks on the 1997 boxed set. I'm not sure just how compressed the '30th' CD is, but the music does sound much more upfront and a bit louder, and makes the '97 tracks sound, well, like they have older remastering, but I still think the '97 tracks have a warmth all their own.Yes, would anyone have the 2001 boxed set version and be able to look at the credits in that booklet? It would be interesting to find out if they replaced the Joe P.

GH 1 & 2 remastering (found on the '97 boxed set) with the later Ted J. GH 1 & 2 remastering? This is very interesting. So, was the GH 1 & 2, 2-CD set re-released again, with the Ted J. '98 remasters, after the 1997 boxed set came out?

Is the sound quality of the newest GH 1 & 2, 2-CD set really night and day from the '97 boxed set version CDs, or are they pretty much similar?If anything, I guess the '97 boxed set version CDs (discs 1 & 2) have unique remastering by Joe P.? I mean, did the Joe P.

Remasters ever show up again on other CDs.probably not, as Ted J's remastering has been used since? Click to expand.Hmm - you made me go listen to a handful of tracks this morning - lol!For Greatest Hits 1 & 2, I have the original 2-CD set that came out in 1985. The credit in the booklet says 'Mastered by Ted Jensen'. As I recall, he did all of the original CDs (but correct me if I'm wrong).

Also, if I am remembering correctly, GH1&2 was released simultaeously on LP, cassette & CD - and 8-Track! (I was a one-stop buyer back then.) One of the cool things about the original GH1&2 release is that it has a couple of single versions on there - 'Just The Way You Are' and 'My Life' come to mind immediately. There may be others that I'm not remembering, but those 2 are definite.In 1997 when Greatest Hits 3 was announced, they also announced the 4-CD set - all three GH albums + the 4th bonus disc.

This was back in the pre-Steve Hoffman days - and 'remastered' must mean it's 'better', right? So rather than buy GH3, I opted for the box instead. Ted Jensen is credited for the remastering for Vol 3 - Joseph Palmaccio for GH1&2. But I never purchased Ted Jensen's remaster of GH1&2 that came out a year later, since I already had the box. (Remastered was remastered back then - I never knew or paid attention to the names!)Listening this morning, I find the 1997 Palmaccio remasterings to be OK - they are louder than my 1985 CD, which is to be expected, but my ears also find them to be a little 'harsher'.A couple years later, I bought a couple of Ted Jensen's remasters (52nd Street & Glass Houses) - and I found them to be too loud for my tastes.

Even my wife complained about this. So my guess is that I would not dig his remaster of GH1&2. I would never give up the GH box set - I enjoy that 4th disc too much! By the way,I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my Billy Joel collection. I have all of the original Columbia (CBS) CDs - a number of which have pre-emphasis. I wasn't crazy about the 1998 remasters that I heard.

I do have the Gold Mastersound CD of 52nd Street, so I passed on Steve's remaster. Now I wish I hadn't. (I'd at least have liked to have heard it.) I did get the AF Glass Houses.I just bought the MFSL remaster of The Stranger - comparing to my original Japan for US - jury is still out, so I'm not sure how I'm going to proceed from here.(I still don't 'get' pre-emphasis - all CD players handle that during playback, right? I don't see any kind of 'indicator' on my Sony player. It's just when you try to rip them that things get messed up?).

Click to expand.Yes, I did the exact same thing.rather than buy GH Vol.3, I decided to get the 4-CD box at the time, and yes, for that 4th bonus disc too! I believe that most people on the forum liked the '98 remasters overall, but a few might have said they sounded a bit harsh.not sure. Overall, I think that GH 1 & 2 from the box sounds very nice and with all of the remasters since, it's still nice to have it - something that isn't as compressed as today's stuff.

One day, I would like to finally collect some of his individual albums on CD, but at this point, I'll wait for the 2011 remasters to get released individually, but it may be a long wait.

Click to expand.I was never crazy about those Gold Sony Masterdiscs at the time they came out.I had tried the WISH YOU WERE HERE one, but it sounded very bright and tinny.that SBM technology that was touted back then by Sony, gave the overall sound quality a 'nice sheen', but it didn't sound remastered and those Masterdiscs never really worked for me. Nothing can replace actual remastering, which will bring out richness, bass, etc, but that SBM stuff still sounded a little weak to my ears, a bit fake.As for THE STRANGER, do you own the 30th Anniversary box.it's a must just for the live CD and that DVD.wow, what a treat!

The '30th album CD' isn't the travesty that I thought it would be.it is compressed of course, but it's still very listenable as well, and is a nice alternative to the '97 boxed set tracks.the tracks are more upfront and rich, but yes, a little louder too.
