Product Details

Van Morrison arrived at Moondance after the raw, stream-of-consciousness anguish of Astral Weeks, and the shift in tone was startling. Where that 1968 debut had felt like confession, Moondance moved with confidence and swing, drawing on jazz, soul, and Celtic folk in ways that felt utterly natural rather than calculated. Forty-plus years on, the songs still sound lived-in rather than polished, which is exactly why this pressing matters.

Pressed on 180 gram vinyl at RTI. Mastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Grey at Acoustech Mastering. Features all original packaging. Highlights include 'Caravan', 'Into the Mystic' and 'Moondance'. Van Morrison's 1970's follow up album to Astral Weeks titled Moondance was every bit as brilliant; buoyant and optimistic where Astral Weeks had been dark and anguished it cracked the Top 40 and generated classic hits.
