Remixed And Reimagined [Digipak] - Billie Holiday

Disadvantages: Really only one for previous Joel fans

...released B-sides from singles on CD 2. They include; An Innocent Man, Easy Money, the soundtrack to the Ruthless People film called Modern Woman, The 12" single re-mix version of Keeping The Faith, She's Right On Time, Baby Grand (recorded with Ray Charles) and Joel's cover of Bob Dylan's The TImes They Are A Changin'.
