The record


Title: Neil Diamond - Serenade
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1974, Pop, Singer-Songwriter Pop, Brooklyn, New York 6/26
Matrix #: PC 32919
Condition: VG+, sounds great, some light background noise, some very light marks (CC) | Members: Neil D (41' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: Diamond’s early fight to escape Bang Records left him tangled in contracts and control battles, pushing him toward bigger, more self-directed albums like this.
  2. Studio Lore: Serenade paired Diamond with producer Tom Catalano and lush arrangements, leaning into dramatic balladry instead of the lean Brill Building pop of his first hits.
  3. Media Narrative: “Longfellow Serenade” kept Diamond in the mid-70s radio conversation, selling him as a strange mix of pop star, poet, and Vegas-sized storyteller.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
