Neil Diamond - The Greatest Hits (1966-1992)

From: $22.05

Though now known mainly for his middle-of-the-road balladry, Neil Diamond started his career in the '60s as a Tin Pan Alley pro who turned out a string of ballsy, folk-rock-styled classic Top 40 singles that may come as a surprise to anyone who's grown up with the image of Diamond as a sensitive crooner and Vegas showman. This 2 CD set contains all of his hits, but it isn't quite the definitive package that its title suggests. His early Bang singles ("Cherry, Cherry," "Kentucky Woman," "Solitary Man") and his later Columbia material ("You Don't Bring Me Flowers," "America," "Heartlight") appear in their original versions. But his mid-period MCA/UNI hits ("Sweet Caroline," "Song Sung Blue," "I Am ... I Said") are represented by live re-recordings from 1989 and 1992. --Scott Schinder

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 10, 2008 Type: User Review Disappointment

A major disappointment. Too many lame "live" versions of many classics. If you purchased this in a store, you will not know this until you get it home and open it as this is not noted anywhere on the outside of the package. Sorry I bought it, but...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 11, 2008 Type: User Review Not up to Neil Diamond standards.

I was very dissappointed in this CD. The big hits were all recorded live in a 1992 concert and were no where close to the quality of the original recordings of these big hits. I really missed the quality of his 1970 voice. The only reason I gave...

Until I bought this album, I forgot how much I love Neil Diamond. Listening brings back memories of seeing him in person at Madison Square Garden and being blown away by his voice. There's lot to like in the selections and there are so many, you...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 12, 2008 Type: User Review Neil is better than ever

This CD set is fantastic. It has all of my old favorites. It is very crisp and clear. I have listened to it for over 2 weeks.
Neil Diamond is probably the only star who I would go to see in concert.
Diamonds are forever.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 12, 2008 Type: User Review Did not know it was a concert series

I love Neil Diamond! However, I would not have ordered this collection had I known it was a live in concert version. I thought it was a studio version. If you want his best work, please look at the description carefully and make sure you get...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 08, 2008 Type: User Review SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY

Includes just about all of Neil Diamonds songs you'll like to have, unless you're a hard core fan.
I would much rather have them include the original releases of songs as oposed to concert versions but I guess I can live with these. read full review | report as inappropriate

If you're a Neil Diamond fan, then this is definitely for you. I love every song on these cds. I've listened to them over and over. The only fault that I can find, is that there are some "live" tracks. I'm not a fan of live tracks, but these...
