Neil Diamond Shilo Record

I bought this a few weeks back from The Brown Elephant resale shop. I didn't own a Neil Diamond record, but I've passed up a bunch before. This one looked like an early one of his, so I thought what the heck? It's just a buck.

I come to find this is a compilation record from his time at Bang Records. He recorded with Bang from 1966-67, and this album was released in 1970.

It's a pretty great record. It has 12 songs, none of them longer than 3:28. So it's a quick record. I also learned that Neil Diamond wrote Red Red Wine. Nice.
