By 1976, Billy Joel had proven his merit as an auteur of California-based singer-songwriter pop-rock. On Turnstiles, the legend focuses his attention on more ambitious matters: Making an album whose scope and range dwarf that of his previous work, and shot his star into the stratosphere. Encompassing everything from urgent rock to soft pop and saloon fare, Turnstiles is a classic of major proportions. Mobile Fidelity has gone back to the original master tapes to present Joel's encompassing music the way it was always intended to be experienced: intimate, detailed, expressive, warm. The record's widescreen sonics are at last properly cinematic, flush with colors, textures and atmosphere.
