In a nutshell, Neil Diamond's Columbia catalog is no longer available through Columbia/Sony.

Just to clarify the ownership of Neil Diamond's master recordings, Neil does not presently own his Uni/MCA masters (Universal does), but he does own all of his Bang/Columbia/Sony masters released on Columbia until January, 2014. His The Jazz Singer LP and its associated singles - which were originally issued on Capitol - all state "(P)1980 Neil Diamond" on the labels, so he's always owned the masters to those, too. After a few years, Neil took those Capitol tracks over to Columbia.

Just as Paul McCartney's back catalog has followed his label-hopping from Capitol to Columbia, back to Capitol and his present stop at Concord/Hear Music, Neil's back catalog - including the Columbia/Sony masters - now resides with Capitol. Not that that's necessarily a huge change, since Capitol's chairman and CEO Steve Barnett previously worked with Neil at Columbia up until late 2012 (and was one of the chief architects in luring Neil over to the label.)

Neil's Capitol All-Time Greatest Hits CD, released less than a month ago, includes material from all three phases of his catalog.

Here's a link to the full Billboard story from last January:

Sorry about that, Gordon. There's a space between the numbers in the link I posted which I can't seem to eliminate. Either copy it and paste it, then remove the space between the "587" and "6964", or do what I originally did: Google "Neil Diamond signs with Capitol"

the b-side of "promises" has an edit of "make it like memory" that's
almost a full four minutes shorter than the version on the 'guilty'
album....does anyone know the edit points of this "short version"...?
thanks

Pretty much every artist that has made it
eventually obtains complete artistic freedom,
i.e. final say on everything; i.e. Madge, MJ,
Prince, Kylie... (which is the reason why
we'll probably never hear her first
deConstruction sessions with Saint Etienne
and Rapino Brothers).

Once in a blue moon, you get debut artists
with total creative control from the gate,
such as P!nk. While she might like dance
music, she loathes mixes of her tracks. She
put the kibosh on club mixes starting with
Just Like A Pill and Feel Good Time. Starting
with her third album, Arista UK
commissioning all club mixes of her songs,
which in turn were then promoted by Arista in
the US. Clearly a loophole in her contract.
