The three-CD box set In My Lifetime marks the first time songs from all phases (and all labels) of Neil Diamond's career have been gathered in one place. The 71 tracks include 5 unreleased songwriting demos from 1958-64, 3 flop singles from 1960-63 on Duel and Columbia, 11 of the Bang sides, 14 Uni cuts, 25 samples from the Columbia years, his contribution to "The Last Waltz," 11 unreleased outtakes, 1 new song, and a live version of the first song he ever wrote. It's all arranged chronologically to tell the story of his career from aspiring Brill Building songwriter to less interesting adult-contemporary superstar. --Geoffrey Himes

 As a boxed set this kind of disappointed me June 28, 2008

This boxed set is in a beautiful case with an impressive colour booklet and his comments on all the songs. I can't fault the lovely presentation, and yet as a product it falls short of what it could have been. Instead of 3 disks, why not use the space in the large box for 4 disks? And why include all the songs that every fan or even casual listener already knows? The truly fascinating ones were the demos and rarities. The set should have contained ONLY demos, rarities and alternate takes. We already have all the other songs and do not need them again! In fact I have THREE different greatest hits compilations besides this one, because I was trying to get all the tracks I did not have. Even this "definitive" collection does not have everything so it's just another, except for the booklet, the case, and the few rarities!
I have to say, in reviewing the "new" material, the previously unreleased tracks (very few), that these were highly enjoyable and just made me want more. In fact I loved Scotch on the Rocks a lot more than the final version, Love on the Rocks. And I loved hearing his daughters join in with his early rehearsal of Beautiful Noise.
I guess for some this could be fun just as it is, and listened to straight through as a retrospective, but to me it's just another collection missing a lot of tracks, and I bought it JUST for the couple of rare tracks, and it was quite pricy for that!
 Wonderful album! January 16, 2008
I love every song on the album and he really is a great singer. I will treasure this set of CDs for many years to come.
Neil Diamond was one of the highlights of my lifetime and was a very pleasant part of my era.
In My Lifetime - Neil Diamond October 28, 2007
I haven't opened this yet, as I purchased it for a Christmas gift. However, I do want to say that it contains almost everything Neil Diamond has recorded, and some that I haven't heard. I know my husband will be thrilled on Christmas morning.
Diamond box set has lots of gems for little money. June 28, 2007

Well, I finally got old enough to let myself buy and listen to whatever I want whether or not it's considered "cool". I rememberd I always enjoyed the earlier Neil Diamond classics when I heard them on the radio years ago, and then I wondered why I never actually bought any of his music.
Some may think that this guy is corny, but let's face it, he's got a great voice and he wrote some classics, and the arrangements are often excellent too, so why not load up on Neil Diamond at this price? Anyway, I looked at all the options, the greatest hits CDs and various compilations, and I settled on this one.
I must say it's great to hear these old classics without the DJ talk over the beginning and the end, and on a high quality sound system. It's also great to hear some of his not so well knows stuff thrown in there too. It's plenty listenable, but I won't get sick of it quite as much as if it was just the "favorites" one after another. Great stuff!
Good compilation, but one big mistake... January 27, 2007

..Neil Diamond obnoxiously assumed we would be entertained/intrigued/touched by letting his little kids be present on a few songs. It killed the CD set for me. I have copied the best songs and sold it already. Very disappointing. Otherwise he was great and his songs bring back alot of memories from the '70s.
