Phil Ramone/The Stranger

Anybody know anything about Phil Ramone's recording techinques for Billy Joel's The Stranger? the board, phil's favourite mics/comps at the time? Love Billy or hate Billy, there's some pretty great sounds on it.

I believe that the band tracked live, including Billy singing into an EV RE20. They tracked at A&R studios in NYC, Phil Ramone owned the studio.

I love that record, Turnstiles and 52nd street are also great. Same team on them all.

RE20, nice. Never would have thought of that mic for that album's vocals...
