I was initialy attracted by the nice compilation, and by the Sony label, so I bought it.
Back home, while singing and playing piano along with Billy's Piano Man I soon realized that it was missing one verse and one chorus. I didn't believe it. I replayed it 3 times, reading my score. I checked the lyric on Billy's official site just to make sure my score was OK. Yes : the recorded Piano Man on that CD is incomplete.
I did not pay attention to any other tracks of that CD. Now, I am just trying to get my money back.
From my perspective, I consider this as fraudulent marketing practice. The consumers are being ripped off.
I respect the work of musicians and composers, that is why I pay for my music. However, it's a two way street, and I expect to be sold the full product I payed for.
Billy is a great musician and composer. His art should not be marketed this way.
