Description:

Neil Diamond – Tap Root Manuscript (Australian 12-track 12” Vinyl LP album repress on MCA Records – MAPS 3974) Tap Root Manuscript is the sixth studio album recorded and released by Neil Diamond, who originally released it in 1970. It was one of the most experimental albums he ever recorded, featuring prominent African sounds and instruments. The album was a commercial success. This album predates many Western artists' interest in world music by more than a decade, from Peter Gabriel's 1980's solo albums, to My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (David Byrne with Brian Eno) in 1981, to the Graceland album recorded by Paul Simon in 1986. It was one of the most novel experimental recording projects of its time. It turned out to be one of Diamond's most successful albums up to that point, including one of his three #1 hits in his career, "Cracklin' Rosie." LP housed in gatefold picture sleeve in near mint condition.
