I got the Van Morrison "Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl"
when it came out a month ago and enjoyed his more mature voice,
but ordered up a Japanese Warner Bros. remaster of the original
young Van Morrison "Astral Weeks" (1968) and have enjoyed it even more over the last month.
Put the remastered "Astral Weeks" on over lunch
(and the Grover "SC." ("SC dot") ICs seemed to draw me deeper into the music
than the Grover "SC" with no "direction arrow," which I have had since February 10th).
Young Van and the assembled players really created something special on that album.
