    This is great news! I hope that sounds as intoxicating as it originally did back in 1971. Sheeez! I'm old!:(

    You ain't alone bud. I still have the copy I bought back in the day. It's near wore through, so I need a new one...LOL


    I think John Milward said it best….


    Van Morrison went a long way towards defining his wild Irish heart with his first two classic albums: the brooding, introspective Astral Weeks (1968), and the expansive, swinging Moondance. If the first was the work of a poet, its sequel was the statement of a musician and bandleader. Moondance is that rare rock album where the band has buffed the arrangements to perfection, and where the sax solos instead of the guitar. The band puts out a jazzy shuffle on "Moondance" and plays it soulful on "These Dreams of You." The album includes both Morrison's most romantic ballad ("Crazy Love") and his most haunting ("Into the Mystic"). "And It Stoned Me" rolled off Morrison's tongue like a favorite fable, while "Caravan" told a tale full of emotional intrigue. Moondance stood out in the rock world of 1970 like a grownup in a kiddie matinee.

    Just received a copy of Moondance from Amazon today (5% off). Haven't listened to it yet, but the packaging quality and weight of the 180 gram vinyl is very impressive. No shrinkwrap around it to warp the LP over time, thick board used with the original liner notes, and a non-static inner sleeve. Astral Weeks should arrive here tomorrow, and Hotel California is due in stock at Amazon at the end of the month.
