My Thoughts : Yes!!! Finally, a full Neil Diamond greatest hits is here !! And so I thought, but after playing thru, it was rather dissapointing. Don't get me wrong!! I love Diamonds but the album display of Diamond early's hits is mostly from Live versions. I believe a live concert of your favourite artist is a great experience - when you are actually there - but rarely translates well to record. So, the CD ends up selling back as a second hand dealer years later...

So, to replace my collections for Neil Diamond, I end up purchase 2 albums of him. They are many Neil Diamond greatest hits collections, some single or double. for a Single disc collection, it couldn't cover his hits good enough. But for a double CD collection, definately they will throw in the live versions again.

After searching, i ends up buying "Neil Diamond - His 12 Greatest Hits" and "Classics: The Early Years"
