NotesDigitally remastered and expanded edition. Astral Weeks is generally considered one of the best albums in pop music history. For all that renown, Astral Weeks is anything but an archetypal rock ‘n’ roll album: in fact, it isn't a rock ‘n’ roll album at all. Employing a mixture of folk, blues, jazz, and classical music, Van Morrison spins out a series of extended ruminations on his Belfast upbringing, including the remarkable character "Madame George" and the climactic epiphany experienced on "Cyprus Avenue." Accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, Morrison sings in his elastic, bluesy voice, accompanied by a jazz rhythm section (Jay Berliner, guitar, Richard Davis, bass, Connie Kay, drums), plus reeds (John Payne) and vibes (Warren Smith, Jr.), with a string quartet overdubbed. An emotional outpouring cast in delicate musical structures, Astral Weeks has a unique musical power. Unlike any record before or since, it nevertheless encompasses the passion and tenderness that have always mixed in the best postwar popular music, easily justifying the critics' raves.

Van the Man in fine form.
This is definitely not your typical album of commercial schlock meant to appeal to the broadest possible audience. Listen to the lyrics and the heart-felt performance of an artist who is both a poet and a singer in the same mold as Dylan or Joni Mitchell. It will haunt you and demand repeated playings because there's so many layers to this cake.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Van's greatest album bar none!
Utterly magnificent album from start to finish! I always loved it since it originally came out in '68 but this remastered and expanded version is nothing short of a dream come true! I always wondered why it hadn't been remastered as so many of VM's later albums had been but in 2015 it finally was, thank heaven! I have seen him perform live many times. The fascinating thing that people who haven't should know is that he performs all his songs with his eyes shut tight. He's the only artist who I have ever seen who does so! I imagine that he does it that way so that he can throw himself completely "Into the Mystic" of every song he creates. What a great man!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
