The project features eight new unreleased songs
Billy Joel and Legacy Recordings have announced the release of a 100-plus-track album, Billy Joel: And So It Goes, a digital-only companion piece that coincides with the release of the two-part, five-hour documentary that explores his life and music. The album will mirror the tracks from the film and more, featuring iconic hits, alternative versions, and live renditions. The album is available tomorrow (Sat, July 26th).
The new compilation album features eight never-before-released songs, including “December Theme (December Song)” from the Cold Spring Harbor sessions, “My Life (From The 100th – Live At Madison Square Garden)” and “An Innocent Man (Live In London),” which will also be available for the first time on YouTube over the next few months.
New audio also includes a new mix “Tomorrow Is Today (2025 Mix),” “You’re My Home (Live At Sparks),” an unreleased recording from the Cold Spring Harbor sessions “Everybody Has A Dream (Cold Spring Harbor Sessions),” “Vienna (Nuremberg Masterclass),” and No Man’s Land (The Shelter Island Sessions),” an unreleased early studio session of the song from River of Dreams.
Over the next year, Joel will also release a steady stream of archival rarities unearthed during the documentary’s creation via his YouTube channel. New visuals will include the unreleased first-ever performance of the classic hit “Scenes From An Italian Restaurant (Live At CW Post),” Joel’s first TV appearance “Long, Long Time” (from WSIU The Session, February 10, 1972), the unreleased performances of “Ain’t No Crime (Billy Joel Tonight),” “Stiletto (Live At The Summit),” and “Sometimes A Fantasy (Live At The Summit),” in addition to the video for the 2022 mix “Allentown (Live From Long Island).”
Additionally, the original 1985 release, Greatest Hits Volume I and II, will return on black vinyl on August 22nd, marking the 40th anniversary of one of the best-selling records of all time.
