Comments and Reviews


Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		It had only occurred to me just before I sent you a PM, RC(initially speaking, ha-ha) re: your remark - "HMV Diamond love it" that you tied in the ad for the styli(plural of stylus) with the artist on the cover.... clever!



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		Yes I have a few albums under the play series



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		That ad started appearing on all the EMI SCA-series releases(at my guess) across all labels but by the 1980s the series was replaced with the PLAY-1000 series(again across all EMI labels).



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		HMV Diamond love it



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		It's surprising just how much of Neil Diamond's backlists from his Bang, MCA(Uni) and CBS days are yet to surface on CD or(in some markets outside Australia) LP.



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		I have The Essential Neil Diamond which you may know is part of that series of CDs the two tracks I mentioned don't appear on that two CD Set



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Longfellow Serenade is from his earlier days at CBS. The one I've yet to see anywhere on LP or CD is "The Time Is Now"which was the B-side to "Kentucky Woman" on the original single(mistakenly earlier credited it as on the back of "Thank The Lord..." Whoops!). Now there's a real RARITY!



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		another track they don't put on current greatest hits or best of and I think it features on his 12 greatest hits volume two long fellow serenade another hard to find hit



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		I found it on itunes



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		yes neil I found it and I bought it its been remastered sounds fantastic



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		Where did you find the track, RC?



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found it YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		The version of Shilo that Diamond did for MCA is a completely new(for that time and for that label) recording. They didn't remix the Bang version at all. They didn't use it, period!



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		If you are on the look-out for Shilo on CD, the compilation to look for is "Neil Diamond - Classics - The Early Years" on CBS (Cat. #CDCBS-25531), issued in 1983 before Sony subsumed the CBS brand and replaced it with "Columbia", an act I resented as I always associated the Columbia name with EMI.



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		that's the version im after I listened to a few samples one of them sounds similar on his the ultimate neil diamond not the MCA version that was released years ago it sounds like its been remixed with a lot of reverb cut out as it features on the single mix



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		I'm thinking the version of Shilo used here is the earlier album version. The 7" single version is on 20 Explosive Hits(Columbia[EMI] TVS-3).



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		This version of shilo is very hard to get on CD no matter what greatest hits or best of it features a rerecording I hope the next lost in the seventies CD will feature the single mix



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		As it happens, I've got to look for a new copy as this one has a nasty crack in it(caused by accident, of course). Lucky for me I've got all the tracks saved as MP3 files.



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		RC, you've scared the life out of me by telling me the Shilo LP is 45 years old(I'm feeling positively ancient now! ha-ha) Just a sec.... This LP will be 40 years old this year!(43 years old for the American issue), yoiks!



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		sorry I will buy it today as a realised its ten minutes after midnight haha



Record Collector 16th Feb 2015		going record hunting tomorrow if I see a copy of this I will buy it as I do have the original join the dots album hard to believe that album will be forty five years old I will buy it you would class this as his first best of albums



Neil Forbes 16th Feb 2015		My most ambitious upload yet! Neil Diamond in a Best-Of LP with gatefold sleeve! This album was issued in 1975 here in Australia though Bang in the USA had issued the same compilation in 1972(though I couldn't say if the cover was the same). Just seems that Neil Diamond's Bang records backlist gets hashed, rehashed, re-rehashed and re-re-rehashed every couple of years! And usually the same tracks keep turning up! I'm yet to see a compilation that carries the original B-side to Thank The Lord..., that track being The Time Is Now. I think I'd faint from shock if I saw that one turn up anywhere! It's truly one of his rarest! Must correct myself, the A-side was, in fact, Kentucky Woman Ouch!
