Two-Bit Manchild is a song written and performed by Neil Diamond. It appears on Neil's 1968 album ''Velvet Gloves and Spit'', and was released as an A-side with a B-side of "Broad Old Woman (6 a.m. Insanity)". It is a "strong and interesting" song according to Robert Jamieson. "Two-Bit Manchild" also appears on the Neil Diamond compilation albums ''Glory Road 1968-1972'', ''Play Me: The Complete Uni Studio Recordings Plus'', ''Gold'', and ''Reflections''. The site Allmusic recommends "Two-Bit Manchild" as one of the top four songs on the album Velvet Gloves and Spit, calling it, "a fascinating adaptation of his Brill Building-era sound to a personal/introspective lyric and approach (picture the Monkees' sound melded to a singer/songwriter persona)." It has also been described as "brilliant and very Bang-ish" and a "jewel". The opening riff is also reminiscent of Day Tripper by The Beatles. ==Debut== Neil Diamond performed "Two-Bit Manchild" on July 2, 1968 on Showcase 68. Officially released as a 45 single in July, 1968 with the B-Side "Broad Old Woman (6 a.m. Insanity)" as UNI 55075. It eventually reached #66 on the charts. At least two versions of the 45 sleeve were released. One featured a picture of Neil Diamond. The other featured a swirly, psychedelic graphic. It was arranged by Renzetti, Altman, Cerone, Richards and Sandler.〔Covers and labels of the 45s〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Two-Bit Manchild」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
