Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

2.0 out of 5 stars A misleading collection, 26 April 2005
By A Customer
I bought this album recently and was very disappointed. Diamond has been with 3 different labels through his career and the label that put out this release now also owns the rights to his early work. However, there's a significant gap in the middle where MCA own the rights and so those songs are represented here by some live recordings and, worse, some re-recorded studio tracks (the re-recorded version of Song Sung Blue is particularly bad). If you are looking for a compilation of his biggest UK hits such as Sweet Caroline and Cracklin' Rose then look elsewhere as tracks 7, 15 and 16 are re-recordings and tracks 9-14 and 17-19 are live - something the album sleeve fails to mention.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 2 Jul 2002
By A Customer
What a disappointment this has been. I expected to hear Neil Diamond sing his greatest hits. Instead this is a re-recorded live version. I am sure the fans at the concerts thoroughly enjoyed themselves, unfortunately this has added nothing to the recording, but has in fact detracted from it. Indeed, on some tracks the audience are almost drowning out Neil, and his in-song ad-libbing spoils what promised to be an excellent cd set. To quote Neil "....we've included some live cuts, too. I'd like to thank these audiences for their help with their singing...." In my opinion, you must be about the only one who does. If you want original unspoilt Neil Diamond I suggest you look elsewhere.

3.0 out of 5 stars They should've used the original versions, 21 April 2002
By A Customer
I was really looking forward to this disc, being a neil diamond fan. As I got to the middle of the disc, my joy turned to horror. They used the live versions of the songs for nearly half of this collection! When I got this collection I was expecting to hear the original versions of these songs, not some re-done live versions. The worst is this cover of a cover where Neil does a reggae version of Red, Red, Wine. It is truly atrocious! Why oh why do they do this? The same thing happened with the Paul McCartney Wingspan CD where they put on a live version of "Coming Up". Things get better from I am...I Said on Disc 2 onward, fortunately they weren't able to find some tacky live versions of these songs.
