The Nylon Curtain is an album by Billy Joel. It was released by CBS in 1982 and produced by Phil Ramone.
"The Nylon Curtain" was the seventh best selling album of 1982, with two million sales in the United States alone. It was one of the first albums to be digitally recorded, mixed and mastered. The album is perhaps best known for bringing global attention to the plight of Allentown, Pennsylvania. In the song "Allentown," the lead track, Joel sings of the city's resoluteness amidst the demise of industry in this eastern Pennsylvania city. "Allentown" reached #17 on the 1982 Billboard Hot 100 and was one of the most played radio songs of the early 1980s.
