...has there ever been a studio version of this one? If so, can someone post it.
Have a nice weekend,

If you mean "Say Goodbye To Hollywood", it appears on his 1976 <I>Turnstiles[/i] album, which is pretty readily available on CD.

Thanks for the hint, but is it a studio version? I only have the old Best of 2CD and the one there seems to have been recorded live.

Yes, the version on <I>Turnstiles[/i] is a studio version, not a live recording.

Billy Joel is no way New Wave. This post should not exist.
...and I haven't felt so alive, in years.

Wasn't Billy Joel in that punk band Generation X?

Considering BILLY JOEL's megadance hits here in MANILA during the NEW WAVE ERA with songs like SOMETIMES A FANTASY and UPTOWN GIRL, he could join the GENRE.[;)]

Oh, c'mon. Of course, Billy Joel isn't NW. BTW, how come you didn't ignore my post then? Been interested in the answer, too, huh[;)]?
Just forget I asked about Billy Joel and never ever mistake Billy `Fuckin'´ Idol for Billy `Piano man´ Joel. Billy Idol is soooo cool.
I've seen him last year in concert here in the Philipshalle Duesseldorf in Germany and he rocked for about two hours and it's been one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Billy Joel had several tunes which fit into the New Wave genre. Several off the Glass Houses album, as well as several off the Nylon Curtain album, particularly "Pressure", whose video was directed by Russell Mulcahy whom Joel hired based on his work with Ultravox.
