Neil Diamond to issue career spanning 50th Anniversary Collection

Capitol/UME will later this month issue a Neil Diamond 50th Anniversary Collection – a three-CD set that includes 50 songs and spans 50 years…

Compiled “under the supervision of Diamond” (i.e. he send an email that read “looks good to me!”), the 50th Anniversary Collection charts the musician’s trajectory from the moment of his first hit (1966’s Solitary Man) through to material from his most recent album (The Art Of Love from 2014’s Melody Road).

The record label are even boasting of a “50-page booklet” to keep with the FIFTIETH anniversary theme, although I’m pretty sure that’s not technically possible (since the number of pages in a standard perfect bound or saddle-stitched booklet needs to be divisible by four). Diamond himself lets the side down by not doing a FIFTY date world tour (he didn’t get the memo and is playing 52 dates – tsk!). The tour kicks off in California on 7 April, incidentally, with the North American leg finishing in the same state in mid-August. Neil plays across Europe in September and October.

50th Anniversary Collection will be released on the 50th of March 2017 (not really, it’s the 31st).
