Soolaimon (African Trilogy II)/ And The Grass Won't Pay No Mind

Doesn't he look young in this photo? Well, I guess he was only 28 at the time? This is definitely one of Diamond's most ambitious and least accessible songs, which probably explains why it didn't do better on the charts. Still, I know Diamond still remembers "Soolaimon" fondly, because it remains part of his live repertoire. Note: The reverse of the picture sleeve has the full lyrics printed. This beautiful copy has Mint labels and untouched-looking vinyl. The picture sleeve is nearly flawless! (This scan is a representative image from our archives; this copy does not have a drillhole.)
