A beautifully personal set of surrealist folk-rock bathed in jazzy nuances, emotional vocals, and poetic license, the psychedelic-tinted 1968 album is an invitation to a one-of-a-kind atmospheric paradise. The haunting, deeply personal collection of impressionistic folk styled epics was recorded with an all-star jazz backing that includes bassist Richard Davis and drummer Connie May. Mastered from the original analog tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI, this extraordinary audiophile vinyl reissue features revelatory dynamics and nuances. You've never heard a better pressing.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"When you hear this new reissue, even if you've heard the original hundreds of times, you will almost jump out of your seat when you hear these familiar elements move from the shadows to the foreground. Van sounds almost introspective and delicate on the original. The reissue reveals powerful vocal dynamics within which get revealed subtle, previously hidden emotional nuances and instant, immediately communicated revelations as they seem to travel from Van's mind into his vocal chords, and from there into the microphone's diaphragm.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e– Michael Fremer, Stereophile and Analog Planet\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVan Morrison Astral Weeks Track Listing:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAstral Weeks\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeside You\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSweet Thing\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCyprus Avenue\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Way Young Lovers Do\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMadame George\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBallerina\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSlim Slow Slider","brand":"ROCK \u0026 ROLL HALL OF FAME RECORD STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42857096380585,"sku":"BAV-718-R","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/5982\/5577\/products\/LRHI9071__99241.1657984836.jpg?v=1762441447"},{"product_id":"van-morrison-astral-weeks-the-secret-history-of-1968-paperback-book","title":"VAN MORRISON - ASTRAL WEEKS: THE SECRET HISTORY OF 1968 - PAPERBACK - BOOK","description":"A mind-expanding dive into a lost chapter of 1968, featuring the famous and forgotten: Van Morrison, folkie-turned-cult-leader Mel Lyman, Timothy Leary, James Brown, and many more.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVan Morrison's Astral Weeks is an iconic rock album shrouded in legend, a masterpiece that has touched generations of listeners and influenced everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Martin Scorsese. In his first book, acclaimed musician and journalist Ryan H.

Most penetratingly powerful of all is Mel Lyman, the folk-music star who decided he was God, then controlled the lives of his many followers via acid, astrology, and an underground newspaper called Avatar.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA mesmerizing group of boldface names pops to life in Astral Weeks: James Brown quells tensions the night after Martin Luther King, Jr. is assassinated; the real-life crimes of the Boston Strangler come to the movie screen via Tony Curtis; Howard Zinn testifies for Avatar in the courtroom.
