VAN MORRISON
'MOONDANCE'
WARNER BROTHERS RECORDS WS.1835 - ORIGINAL 1970 ISSUE
MATRIX ENDS 'A-1 / B-1' - THE FIRST PRESSING!
LITTLE CAN BE SAID ABOUT THIS ALBUM THAT BETTER DESCRIBES THE CLASS AND QUALITY TREASURED INSIDE THESE GORGEOUS GROOVES, SO I'LL GET TO THE POINT OF THE AUCTION;
THE SEMINAL RECORDING IS CONSIDERED AMONG THE *TOP* ALBUMS OF ALL TIME, CROSSES GENRES OF SOUL, BLUES, JAZZ AND FOLK, AND REALLY SHOWED VAN MORRISON'S CAPABLE EMERGENCE FROM RAW GARAGE RHYTHM 'N BLUES ROCKERS 'THEM' TO PLACE HIM AS AN ARTIST WITH A FUTURE OF CAPABILITY FAR BEYOND THE CONFINES OF 60'S POP RECORDS.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY RE-ISSUES AND EDITIONS OF THIS ALBUM (UNDERSTANDABLY), BUT FOR A VERY BRIEF FIRST ISSUE PERIOD ON THIS LABLE - THIS IS THE REAL THING, THE ORIGINAL BRIEFLY AVAILABLE 1ST PRESSING ISSUE!
(I HAVE OWNED REMASTERED EDITIONS, AND FIND NEGLIGIBLE DIFFERENCE - HARD TO IMPROVE ON THE FIRST!)
INCIDENTALLY, I'LL INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL PRICE-STICKER, WHICH HAS LONG FALLEN OFF THE SLEEVE BUT SHOWS THE SHOP PRICE IN DECIMAL AS WELL AS THE OLD UNITS, AS BRITAIN CONVERTED OUR CURRENCY! A SMALL, BUT NICE ITEM OF AUTHENTICITY.
AN ARCHIVE COPY! - AND IN LOVELY SHAPE
***
CONDITION;
GRADES EX PLAYS WONDERFULLY THROUGHOUT. *FULL SHINE* WITH A 'SOFT' LIGHT SCUFF/LINE VISIBLE ON EACH SIDE, SURFACE ONLY.
