Billy Joel’s Turnstiles Turns 50: Back to New York on “Subway Token Gold” Vinyl
A 50th anniversary Turnstiles on “Subway Token Gold” vinyl? Okay, we’re ready. Bring it on.
This was Billy Joel’s back-to-NYC record after his LA years—and the first album to feature Liberty DeVitto, Richie Cannata, Russell Javors and Doug Stegmeyer together in the studio.
Those guys would help define the sound of the records that followed. And, in a little TSN footnote, Evan recorded his own last album with Liberty, Richie and Russell.
And “Subway Token Gold”? That’s some serious East Coast energy. Raise your hand if you actually remember holding one. ✋
You can visit the Astor Place station if you’d like, but then get yourself to @thesharpnotes and grab a copy before we keep them all. 🚇
