Neil's best songs

Review Score: (10/10)
There isn't a single song on this CD i don't like. I remember this was the first Neil Diamond album my mom bought some years ago. These aren't actually the original mixes of the songs. They were originally released in mono. These are in stereo and have extra strings added to them. But it's still a collection worth getting if you're into Neil's early work. Actually the only one. The albums he released on Bang are all out of print and neither MCA or Columbia ever rereleased them. So a few of these songs are somewhat hard to fing on any other albums especially "Do It". The Boat that I Row is on the box set and the rest nine other ones are on the Essential ND and Shilo is found Live on Essential and hot august night. The remake is on Velvet gloves on spit, so the studio version is only available on this album. For those really into Neil Diamond's songs from the feel of neil and just for you and his first greatest hits album there is a rare album called the Bang collection which has all 25 of his songs from that era plus five additional mixes. Classics the early years is a great CD for anyone to start their ND colliction!
