| Billy Joel - Cold Spring Harbor album cover | |
| Cold Spring Harbor was Billy Joel's first solo album, and was released in 1971. He had already released several albums as a member of the bands The Hassles (1966 to 1969) and Attila (1970). This was his first solo effort. It was released by Family Productions, but through an error in the album's mastering, the songs were slightly too fast, up one half step, causing Joel's voice to sound high and reedy.
Artie Ripp, owner of Family Productions and hence of the original master tapes, re-mixed and re-released an updated version of the album in 1983 on Columbia Records, without any involvement by Billy Joel. Ripp had originally signed the unknown and struggling young "Piano Man" to an unheard-of 10-record contract. As a result he was able to continue collecting fat royalties on sales of Joel's biggest hit records long after Joel's acrimonious departure from Family Productions, despite Joel's constant efforts to buy back his contract. Shortly after Joel released his tenth album - the last on which Ripp could collect royalties - Ripp decided a re-release of Cold Spring Harbor could keep the royalty checks coming a little while longer. While the 1983 version is at the correct speed, it is stripped of quite a bit of the original orchestration by Jimmie Haskell. Instead, Ripp added several new drum tracks performed by Mike McGee as well as synthesizers and keyboards in an attempt to give the record a more updated feel. The engineer for the re-recording and re-mixing sessions was so outraged by the results that he refused to allow his name to be used on the album, which is why Artie Ripp is given engineering credit. The album is named after a village of the same name, in the Town of Huntington, a seaside community near Joel's hometown. Track listing: All songs by Billy Joel 1.
