Thank The Lord For The Night Time/ The Long Way Home

This is an especially beautiful copy of Neil Diamond's remarkable, compelling foray into soul music. I wish I knew who's playing that electric guitar lead that opens the track — it's worth the price of admission all by itself! Of course, given the talents that put the track together, it's not surprising if the song also reminds you of Bubblegum rock or even Power Pop. What is surprising is that this classic tune wasn't a bigger hit — it didn't even crack the Top 10 back in 1967! This is the more common variant of the title that begins with "Thank"; some pressings prepend "I" to that title. Note: Aside from the drillhole and faint storage wear on the labels, this copy's vinyl looks untouched, and the grooves (A side) yield absolutely flawless audio!
