If your impression of Neil Diamond is "You Don't Bring Me Flowers" and "America" (or even if it isn't), seek ye this. Indispensable, I tell you!Wendy Carlos's Twin wrote:I just released a b**tleg of stereo Bang mixes.Kevin Davis wrote:I like some Neil Diamond. His early Bang recordings are indispensable '60's pop.

I grew up playing albums on my moms record player too. She was into tons of good '50s and '60s music. Fond memories for sure.Peeps wrote:

OK, I've inherited 10 Neil Diamond Albums from my mom. Which should I keep? I'm thinking I'll keep 5 and sell the rest.
I think these are the most universally popular.

The local Habitat for Humanity Home Store had a contraption like that for $45 a while ago. I thought about buying it and trying to refit it with a modern turntable and speakers.Peeps wrote:

Never did.

I once had a great mate who was a few years older than me. He was no music nerd that's for sure, but he liked music in his own way.B wrote:OK, I've inherited 10 Neil Diamond Albums from my mom. Which should I keep? I'm thinking I'll keep 5 and sell the rest.

At a card night one time we were all well tanked and he started to go on about how good Neil Diamond was. He would usually never talk much at all about music, but this particular night he was well and truly professing his (alcohol fuelled) LOVE of Neil.
For his birthday which came up a month or two later I proceeded to download mp3's of, and burn to CD, every single Neil Diamond album I could find. I printed the artwork and everything. I put it all in a box a la the PJ Tour Boot sets. I think it ran to over 40 discs.
I think that set bought his total CD collection to just over 50 albums.
I had more time on my hands back then...
