Description

Van Morrison BEAUTIFUL VISION Vinyl LP Mercury 1982 Excellent
Beautiful Vision arrived in stores in February 1982, and while it represented a sudden turn away from the sprawling song structures and free jazz strains of Common One, it wasn't a return to the soul-influenced sound he'd mined to audience and critical acclaim in the '70s. Instead, Vision found Morrison doubling back to his roots; although each of the record's 10 tracks stood on their own distinct musical merits, the overall album took a decidedly Celtic tone.

Part of the shift seemed deliberate. In Johnny Rogan's biography No Surrender, Morrison's quoted as arguing that it's "important for people to get into the music of their own culture" and warning, "I think it can be dangerous to not validate the music of where you're from, for anybody, whether it's Bulgaria or whatever."

(Jeff Giles, UCR)


I have graded the vinyl Excellent in line with Vinyl Factory grading.  There are the usual signs of a record being brought in and out of its sleeve and light wear and use generally. Excellent – Tolerating very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.
I have graded the sleeve Very Good, as alas there are signs of use and wear over time

A note about postage.  To Europe the flat rate post rate is £12 and not £20, as this applies to Worldwide, US, Canada, etc. which for a good and reliable service costs £23.50.  If somebody in Europe wants to buy this album, please mail me first and I will alter the postage settings for you so that ebay don't auto charge you £20.  Thank you.
