Neil Diamond 50 – 50th Anniversary Collection is a retrospective of 50 Neil Diamond songs recorded between 1966 and 2014. It was released in March 2017.[1]
Diamond selected the songs for Neil Diamond 50. Its tracks range from the 1966 album The Feel of Neil Diamond to 2014's Melody Road. A three-disc set with liner notes by David Fricke, it includes songs that Rolling Stone described as "staples in the American pop songbook".[2]
The collection was also issued in a limited edition 6-disc book, comprising 115 tracks, and including 12 previously unreleased songs.
A 50th Anniversary World Tour coincided with the release of the box. It began on April 7, 2017, in Fresno, California.[3]
