Neil Diamond: Classics: The Early Years / Jazz Singer / Beautiful Noise

Sony repackaged and re-released three of Neil Diamond's most popular albums -- including the wonderful singles collection Classics: The Early Years, Jazz Singer and Beautiful Noise -- as a slip-cased box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or remastering, which means it's of marginal interest to hardcore collectors.
-- Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All-Music Guide

Robbie Robertson and Garth Hudson are credited here for their contributions to the Robertson-produced platinum album Beautiful Noise.
