I moved this to Is This Autograph Real. Hopefully you'll get more responses there.

This looks likely real to me and I checked out RR's results database and found a number with similar characteristics.

Thanks Steve.  The ones from R&R do make this look promising

i’ll pass on it and i do disagree on this one. i think the d piece is off and the end and it just doesn’t look right overall from the normal ones i’ve seen or even the examples that are given but i’m not claiming to be a neil diamond expert. maybe but i just don’t like it. how about a few other opinions maybe??

This was obtained at his NYC last minute signing at Barnes a few years ago.  This is more the common version of his autograph that I have seen in the last 10 years or so.  Still there are similarities.  But I agree with you that more opinions from folks who have gotten him thru the years is needed.  Hopefully there are some Neil experts here as he may have an older style of signature compared to recent ones

Here are a few photo pre-prints which shows the exact same style as the LP.  These are usually printed from real autographs I would assume
