It’s My Vinyl !! August 14, 2010

This episode of It's My Vinyl was broadcast on August 14, 2010, between 4am and 5am and features the album Gold by Neil Diamond, in its entirety.  It's a capture of classic Neil in his singer/songwriter folk days circa 1970.  The LP was originally issued on the Uni Records label, distributed by Universal Records and MCA.  Because it's a live album and contains live versions of Neil's hits on Bang Records, Uni can capitalize on the lucrative Bang catalogue for Neil by issuing this album, but, truly, it is a good performance, and the songs are presented in their live versions very well. It was later re-issued on MCA with the sky blue label imprint and is, now, likely available on CD.
