Neil Diamond.........
I have a double CD set called "Gold" that is mostly original studio recordings with very good sound + a few live versions of a few Neil Diamond songs at the end. IT is a wonderful collection for getting exposure to Diamond's better known classic works. The live versions at the end are mostly better than original versions as I recall. THe live version of "Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon" is a particularly extraordinary rendition of a lesser known yet classic Diamond tune that helped make me a believer! |
It's unfortunate that most of Neil's work on Bang Records has never been released on CD. A two record set of Neil's work on Bang Records that is worth tracking down is Double Gold . This set contains the definitive versions of Neil's mid-1960's work: Disc 1 01. I'm a believer 02. Monday Monday 03. The long way home 04. I'll come running 05. Red, red wine 06. Shilo 07. Do it 08. Oh No, No 09. Love to love 10. Thank the Lord for the night time Disc 2 01. Solitary Man 02. New Orleans 03. Cherry, Cherry 04. Someday Baby 06. Kentucky Woman 07. The boat that I row 08. You got to me 09. You'll forget 10. Crooked Street 11. Shot Down Regards, Rich |
