Neil Diamond
Greatest Hits 1966-92
Too Many Live Songs Not Identified by Amazon.com
Review Score:
(4/10)Starts out good with a clean, crisp version of Solitary Man and other great older stuff. The two songs I looked forward to the most were Cracklin' Rosie and Sweet Caroline - the major DISAPPOINTMENT was that these are live recordings. If there are two songs that shouldn't be live on a 'best-of', it's these. I am very displeased to be out [price] because Amazon did not identify which songs are live; I wouldn't have bought it. I should have read the other editorials. The "Essential" CD does indicate which recordings are live, and I would recommend that CD.
