SCARCE STEREO 1967 original of the very first solo by Van Morroson, just a year after he left THEM and scored the timeless surprise hit "Brown Eyed Girl" ...

After his initial success as the leader of the Irish band Them, Van Morrison came to the U.S to record his solo debut. He was still in transition from the uptempo garage punk snarl sound of "THEM" to the heady, blues-and jazz-inflected musings of his later work. The classic "Brown-Eyed Girl" is the closest Morrison has ever come to a pop song, and it remains a sparkling, infectious gem. The dark, fatalistic blues workout "T.B. Sheets" is closer to the improvisatory, impressionistic style Morrison would soon perfect on ASTRAL WEEKS. It is one of the most chilling vocal performances he has ever put on record.

Van Morrison's 1967 debut solo album, recorded just after the implosion of his groundbreaking blues-rock band Them, was, to say the least, unlike anything else coughed up in the Summer of Love. Personal in the extreme, it mixed classic romantic New York R&B  and "Spanish Harlem" with a doomy Celtic fatalism; the result was a fusion that remains unique. Highlights include the the harrowing and haunting "T.B. Sheets," a nine-minute 44 second death watch in which Van and his harmonica get about as deep into the blues as is healthy for any human being.
