“Shilo” (reissue) #24 4/25/1970

We’ve noted previously that Neil Diamond competed with himself from time to time due to a messy departure when he changed labels. This one was first issued by his old label (BANG) in 1968 just after Neil left for Uni Records and did absolutely nothing. So once he started to see success at his new employer BANG re-issued this with a new backing track, ostensibly to make it sound fresher. It did better than the single Uni issued at the same time, “Until It’s Time For You To Go.”
