Billy Joel Complete – Volume 1 is a piano vocal guitar songbook featuring 57 songs from the early years of Billy Joel’s career, including material from his first five albums and Cold Spring Harbor. Published by Hal Leonard in the Piano Vocal Guitar Artist Songbook series, this collection is designed for pianists, singers, and guitarists who want a substantial selection of Joel’s best known songs and key album tracks in one volume.
This softcover book presents songs in standard notation with vocal melodies, lyrics, and chord symbols for guitar accompaniment. The PVG format makes it suitable for solo playing, singing with piano, or guitar supported performance, while the clear layout supports practice, rehearsal, and live use.

Seller: Bookshelf of Maine, Franklin, ME, U.S.A.
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Book is in pristine condition. The entirety of the rare Cold Spring Harbor album alongside major early hits from Piano Man, Turnstiles, and The Stranger all in one place. Vocal & Guitar Accuracy Highly functional. Vocalists find the clear melody lines and full lyrics ideal for practice. Guitarists appreciate the accurate chord symbols stamped above the staff for easy strumming. Melody-heavy. Because it uses a standard Piano/Vocal/Guitar (PVG) layout, the pianist's right hand constantly mimics the vocal track. Players noting this context state it is great for solo pianists who aren't singing. Ideal For: Intermediate students, casual hobbyists, and vocalists who want a massive chunk of early rock history in a single book to read lyrics, follow chords, and play the central melodies.
