Product Description
From Amazon.com
Originally recorded for legendary producer Bert Berns' Bang label, this collection documents the mid-'60s period when Neil Diamond was an emerging New York songwriter and apprentice pop star. Many of these hits have generated subsequent cover smashes--"I'm a Believer" (Monkees), "Kentucky Woman" (Deep Purple), "Red Red Wine" (UB40), "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" (Urge Overkill)--but the originals remain the greatest. Produced by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich, sublime singles like "Solitary Man," "Cherry Cherry," and "Thank the Lord for the Night Time" kept Brill Building rock on the charts during the British Invasion. Diamond would go on to become a '70s megastar, but many believe he has never equaled these recordings. --Ben Edmonds

Thank the Lord for Neil Diamond,
By
This review is from: Classics Early Years (Audio CD)
This CD features the best of Neil Diamond's recordings for Bang Records. Some people may be disappointed that some of his hits like "Sweet Caroline" aren't included, but that song was recorded for a different record company. This CD includes all his Bang Records hits, and that's good enough for me. This is my favorite period of Neil's career. You can't go wrong with songs like "Cherry, Cherry", "I'm a Believer" and "Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon". I highly recommend this CD.

Neil Diamond Early Years,
By Scott CBR954RR (Windsor, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classics Early Years (Audio CD)
My parents had much of Neil Diamonds music on 8-track when I was a child. I always enjoyed his music so I bought this CD. This is a great music CD that covers early music not found on four other Neil Daimond CDs that I own. I also recommend 12 Greatest Hits volume II and Play Me The Complete Univeral Studio Recordings which is a 3 CD collection. Highly recommended!

Good material, but it's not enough,
By
This review is from: Classics Early Years (Audio CD)
Neil Diamond was one of the greatest rock stars of the sixties, but these days he has become forgotten. Why? HE'S ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST SINGER/SONGWRITERS! The mere fact that his music has become forgotten fills me with rage, because it's about a thousand times better than the junk that gets radioplay these days. This is their best known hits compilation. Read on for my review.PROS: CONS: OVERALL:
