Neil Diamond.
New Best Of out 26th November. Now this is the first time all his hits back to the 60's ones and up to present have been on a single CD. I've been waiting for one for years so am pleased. All the classics and songs he wrote and recorded but were big hits for others. I'm A Believer and Red Red Wine are probably the best known ones.
Any Neil fans here? Tracklist: Forever In Blue Jeans Beautiful Noise Love On The Rocks Cherry, Cherry I Am...I Said Sweet Caroline Cracklin' Rosie Play Me I'm A Believer Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon Holly Holy Solitary Man Song Sung Blue You Don't Bring Me Flowers Hello Again Red, Red Wine If You Know What I Mean Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show Pretty Amazing Grace Kentucky Woman Shilo America Hell Yeah |

Trouble is I already have two different "Best of" double cd sets and a third would be nuts. I just wait each new album now to save confusion.

I think Neil Diamond sounds best live.
He's made two great live albums in Hot August Night and Love at the Greek. It would be hard to better those. |

If ever a musician held an audience in his hands it is Neil Diamond. When the start of "Sweet Caroline" kicks in it is like a giant firework with the blue touch paper being lit. It is not just a concert it is like the world's biggest happiness club holding their A.G.M. The man can do no wrong such are his tallents.

Received my CD today and it's great. Fabulous sound and all the original recordings. Glad I never bought a compilation of his before as this is the most complete.
Not too pleased that it was £9.99 when I ordered it and Amazon' price is now £7.47. Should have waited. Not very pleased at paying for Amazon's 1st Class delivery service either as it was posted Saturday and arrived today! Still, that's probably the Post Office's fault. |

I think he has a lovely voice also, I have my favourite songs and Love On The Rocks, I Am...I Said and Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon are my top 3.

I've got a "best of" triple album, which I think was an import from germany, it's on vinyl and I haven't got a turntable (unless Santa reads my letter) so I haven't listened to it for ages, but it has a version on I am...I said on it which is different to any other version I've heard and it's by far my favourite
