Where Does “Touching You, Touching Me” Rank in Neil Diamond’s ’60s Output?

"Touching You, Touching Me" was the final release of the 1960s for Neil Diamond, his third album with Uni Records, and his second of 1969 after "Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show". Released after the success of "Sweet Caroline" and "Holly Holy", this album can be seen as the label trying to capitalise on the success of these two singles. However, does the entirety of "Touching You, Touching Me" retain the consistency of these two singles, and how does it compare to the first release of the year, as well as 1968's "Velvet Gloves And Spit"?
