His passion comes through.......2005-10-29

This is probably one of the more divisive of Diamond's albums. Fans of his earlier works feel it is over produced and schmaltzy, others believe things are only enhanced by the use of sophisticated orchestrations; after listening once again, I find myself in the latter camp. While on songs like "Once in a While" the background is too busy, filled with soaring strings "tinkling" synths; the next song "Let the Little Boy Sing" shows how well this style can work elevating a fairly slight piece into one of sheer joy. Opening and closing with compositions by Brian Wilson and Joni Mitchell, Diamond does a great job in making "God Only Knows" and "A Free Man in Paris" his own (both worth the price of admission) and his own compositions work well between these wonderful "bookends." I can appreciate the point of those critical of this work, but his voice convinces me, there's just as much passion here and he's not buried in the sound. It just supports him in an occasionally over lush cocoon, but still has the emotion needed to make the album work.

One of his best and best produced.......2005-10-16

here I think there is a perfect balance between production and musicianship. The cover of god only knows is incredible and so is "as if". Neil Diamond is in a category of his own. Sabre Dance is a good song which combines classical and modern acoustic sounds and is very intense. I think this was the first album that vince charles played on. The other thing I like about neil diamond in the 70s is that the drum acoustics are among the best. There is a constant balance of sound. Throughout the 60s and 70s many bands had horrible production (especially elton john and the eagles)in the drum department. If you listen to Neil through the 70s and 80s the production is among the best in the industry. This album is ahead of its time musically.

An underrated album.......2004-07-16

This is actually one of Diamond's best albums, though terribly underrated. Two of my favorite songs are on this album and on no other; "Glad You're Here with Me Tonight" and "Once In A While" are among his finest works. The only reason I didn't give it '5' is because the volume level is low for a CD recording.

My favorite Diamond.......2003-10-15

I'm not really what you'd call a Neil Diamond fan. I like him well enough. His voice is nothing to get excited about but the songs he sings!! Fine melodies that make up for his mediocre voice. This album is my favorite work by Mr. Diamond. 3 songs rank among my favorites, the title track, God Only Knows, and Once in A While. Not originals, but very well done on this album. I gave this one a '4' rather than '5' due to recording level. The volume is quite low, compared to most CD recordings. I think a good remastering would help quite a bit.

One of the best- Videos.......2003-07-02

I just bought the Video and the CD, and they are magnificent. Neil is at his very best. You can tell that he takes such great care of how his music is played, and sung. His songs are magical, so very beautifully sung. I adore this album, and tape. It is my favorite.

"Broadway Shows from the 1960's ~ Percy Faith".......2004-02-23

Percy Faith blends two award winning Broadway Shows together "Subways Are For Sleeping" (originally released on Columbia Records CS 8533 in 1961) and "Do I Hear A Waltz?" (originally released on Columbia Records CS 9117 in 1965), following the formula of previous albums from the vault of rare finds ~ two more winners are under the baton of the Maestro.

First twelve tracks "Subways Are For Sleeping", featuring the songs of Betty Comden, Adolph Green and Jule Styne with outstanding arrangements on very catchy tunes ~ like "BE A SANTA", "COMES ONCE IN A LIFETIME", "GETTING MARRIED", "HOW CAN YOU DESCRIBE A FACE?", "I JUST CAN'T WAIT", "I SAID IT AND I'M GLAD", "I'M JUST TAKING MY TIME", "NOW I HAVE SOMEONE", "RIDE THROUGH THE NIGHT", "WHAT IS THIS FEELING IN THE AIR?", "WHEN YOU HELP A FRIEND OUT" and "WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN?", all have the hallmark sound and the authentic "Percy Faith Touch" on every selections.

Second twelve tracks ~ "Do I Hear A Waltz", featuring the tunes of Richard Rodgers and Stephen Soundheim enhanced by the performances of arranger/conductor Percy Faith and his Orchestra ~ "A PERFECTLY LOVELY COUPLE", "DO I HEAR A WALTZ?", "HERE WE ARE AGAIN", "MOON IN MY WINDOW", "NO UNDERSTAND", "SOMEONE LIKE YOU", "STAY", "TAKE THE MOMENT", "THANK YOU SO MUCH", "THINKING", "THIS WEEK AMERICANS" and "WE'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT", enamored to the luxurious sound of Faith's string arrangements ~ you're immediately hooked on these tracks ~ marvelous performances enthralling listener's for some fifty years.

The people at Collectables should be commended for bringing back some of Maestro Faith's best works on compact disc ~ there is so much more in the vast vaults, hopefully there will be more to follow...gotta love it!
