Morrison, Van - Astral Weeks

NEW VINYL LP ON WB 2015

180 GRAM VINYL.

Van Morrison's 1968 release, Astral Weeks remains not only his masterpiece, but one of the greatest records ever made. The haunting, deeply personal collection of impressionistic folk styled epics was recorded with an all-star jazz backing that included bassist Richard Davis and drummer Connie May and it's absolutely awash in overwhelming emotional beauty. The poetic complexity of the material combined with Morrison's vocal dexterity and passion make it one of those rare albums for which the word timeless is not only appropriate but inescapable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Morrison
