Legacy Recordings

Who doesn’t love Neil Diamond? I grew up thinking I was named after a bittersweet Jessi Colter song, while my sister was named after the fabulous uplifting sing-a-long that is “Sweet Caroline.” I’ve had issues ever since.

We are finally getting to work on his catalog, around his new set due out the end of April. We meet today to decide which titles this initiative will comprise, based on Neil’s own vision of the restoration of his legacy. (With the exception of In My Lifetime, his catalog has never been re-mastered from the original tapes – we have a lot of exciting work ahead of us). Time to start digging for photos, liner notes (Who are the Neil Diamond writers?), ephemera (I am told Neil keeps notebooks for virtually every song he has written), etc.

And I hear is going to tour this year - big time. I’m so there.
