Is a triple-disc, 71-track box set spanning 's entire career, from his early Bang hits, through his heyday at MCA, to his latter-day adult contemporary hits for Columbia. Demos, alternate takes, and live cuts are interspersed throughout the box. Not all of 's greatest songs are here - obscurities like 'Two-Bit Manchild' would have been welcome - but all of the classics are present.
The Neil Diamond Tribute Band. Musings from Diamond Mountain Movie Producer/Director Steve Tatone: “Diamond Mountain” was originally conceived as a long-overdue homage to the hard working artists who have dedicated themselves to the music of an American songwriting Legend – Neil Diamond.
Aside from the flimsy book-style packaging, the only real problem with the set are the rarities. Mx unleashed song. While the songwriting demos from the beginning of his career are of interest to both dedicated and casual fans, latter-day demos and alternate takes are only of interest to hardcore collectors and break the rhythm of the set. Nevertheless, if anyone wants just one album, is the one to get - it has all the songs you know plus several great lesser-known gems, presented in crisp, clear sound and with an excellent biography and discography.
