This was Neil's first record on UNI. Although it's considered one of his 
classics,
the record didn't even manage to crack the top 40. I don't think we were 
quite ready for this side of Neil Diamond just yet.

                                   "Brooklyn Roads"
                                    (Neil Diamond)
                                     Neil Diamond
                             Velvet Gloves and Spit, 1968
