HOT AUGUST NIGHT - TREMENDOUSLY RARE AUDIOPHILE PRESSING - ORIGINAL FACTORY SEALED Double 180 Gram LP SET RELEASE - THIS WAS THE 1ST PRESSING EVER ON 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL - This is the ultimate Neil Diamond record. Not necessarily the best he s at his most appealing crafting in the studio but certainly the ultimate, capturing all the kitsch and glitz of Neil Diamond, the showman. And that also means that it s not just loaded with flair, but with filler, songs like Porcupine Pie, Soggy Pretzels, and And the Grass Won t Pay No Mind attempts to write grand, sweeping epics that collapse under their own weight. Still, that s part of the charm of Diamond and while it can sound unbearable on studio albums, it makes some sense here, surrounded by his pomp and circumstance. That spectacle is the great thing about the record, since it inflates not just his great songs, it gives the weaker moments character. And while this does wind up being a little much 21 songs, 24 on the 2000 reissue it nevertheless is the one record for casual Neil fans, after the hits collections, since this shows Diamond the icon in full glory.

This two-LP release also comes with a beautiful 12-page booklet. Talk about a bang for your buck
HOME BEFORE DARK COLLECTORS 1ST EDITION PRESSING
- Remarkably Home Before Dark is the first US chart topping album of Neil Diamond s forty year career. It appears to repeat the formula behind 2006 s acclaimed 12 Songs--relatively understated arrangements and a subtle Rick Rubin production. But Diamond, though sixty-seven years old and the oldest recipient of a Number One so far, is no Johnny Cash, turning his unique voice to some well chosen contemporary material. Instead Home Before Dark is a collection of new Diamond songs, and though they might not match the boomers in his back catalogue they are hardly stripped back. These are songs designed to fill large venues alongside the showstoppers in Diamond s still energetic live show. Pretty Amazing Grace is in the great tradition of Diamond songs that defy their corniness with sheer catchiness, as is One More Bite of the Apple while Don t Go There features bracing backing vocals and a delightfully dated wobbly guitar hook. The duet with Natalie Maines, Another Day That Time Forgot , would fit comfortably on American country radio while The Power of Two sounds like another hit in waiting. In fact this is more a conventional Diamond collection than a Rick Rubin production, dominated by lightly understated country rock arrangements played by a crack team including Smokey Hormel, Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell and the usually experimental Matt Sweeney. This is a charming and consistently solid set, though Home Before Dark does lack the unexpected intensity that made 12 Songs stand out so - Home Before Dark is the long awaited new album from legendary artist Neil Diamond. Home Before Dark was produced by legendary producer Rick Rubin who also produced Neil s critically acclaimed 12 Songs.
There are two types of people in the world: those who like Neil Diamond and those who don t. - quote from the movie What About Bob?
If you re in the latter category, please read no further.
If you re still with me, this is a pretty amazing album from the evergreen Mr. Diamond, taking us back to his music of the seventies, namely the Song Sung Blue and Sweet Caroline period. There s also no complaining about the length of the album, as there are five songs that are six minutes and above, and only one track below four minutes.
American Idol viewers would have been treated to a live performance of the single Pretty Amazing Grace , and if you liked that one, you re really going to enjoy this album.
Other recommended tracks are:
If I Don t See You Again - the first song on the album, and the longest at 7 minutes 14 seconds.
Another Day That Time Forgot - with Dixie Chick Natalie Maines
Forgotten - lots of guitars
Act Like a Man - a little Moon River, a little Country, pure Diamond
Whose Hands Are These - a folksy, inspiring treasure with heavy guitar and piano backing
No Words - you ll be hooked from the intro personal favorite
This is vintage Diamond, and I predict a very good year indeed.
Recommended - just recommended - buy it
