This Diamond Ring is the debut studio album by American band Gary Lewis & the Playboys, and was released in 1965 on Liberty Records, LRP-3408.

Producer Snuff Garrett saw them performing at Disneyland and he brought them into the studio to record the single "This Diamond Ring".

The success of the single led them to record a whole album of mostly covers of popular songs by the Kinks, Bobby Rydell, the Coasters, and others.

[3] The album is somewhat notable in that it marked the beginning of long successful careers for musicians Al Kooper and Leon Russell.

The only other person from the Wrecking Crew that we had in there while we were doing the basic track was Hal Blaine, and he played the Tympanis on "Diamond Ring"".
