Admittedly, we have our share of Neil Diamond records in our dollar bins. Come and buy a few! This record, however, belongs nowhere near the dollar bins. In 1970 Neil Diamond incorporated World Musicians at least ten years before the likes of Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon began using them on their records. Includes the classic "Cracklin' Rose" (Give the acoustic guitar on this another listen, it's pretty magical), a cover of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", and side two ends with the African Suite. If you are looking for the hits, look for a Diamond "Best Of" compilation, but if you are looking for a complete album, we suggest "Tap Root Manuscript".This is an original release, we ship with a 2mil poly sleeve, the record plays fantastic, it has the original booklet, and the sleeve has just some minor natural wear. Do this.
