Van Morrison's first commercially successful solo effort, it retains the previous album's deeply spiritual thrust but transcends its bleak, cathartic intensity to instead explore themes of renewal and redemption. Light, soulful, and jazzy, Moondance opens with the sweetly nostalgic \"And It Stoned Me,\" the song's pastoral imagery establishing the dominant lyrical motif recurring throughout the album -- virtually every track exults in natural wonder, whether it's the nocturnal magic celebrated by the title cut or the unlimited promise offered in \"Brand New Day.\" At the heart of the record is \"Caravan,\" an incantatory ode to the power of radio; equally stirring is the majestic \"Into the Mystic,\" a song of such elemental beauty and grace as to stand as arguably the quintessential Morrison moment.” AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings :\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiscogs 4.71 \/ 5  , AllMusic : 5 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894558359802,"sku":"WBLPI95035","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/products\/van-morrison-moondance-audiosoundmusic-1.jpg?v=1719860850"},{"product_id":"the-band-the-last-waltz-3lp","title":"The Band -

But as an album, The Last Waltz soundtrack had to compete with the Band's earlier live album, Rock of Ages, with which it bears a certain superficial resemblance -- both found the group trying to create something grander than the standard-issue live double, and both featured the group beefed up by additional musicians. While Rock of Ages found the Band swinging along with the help of a horn section arranged by Allen Toussaint, The Last Waltz boasts a horn section (using Toussaint's earlier arrangements on a few cuts) and more than a baker's dozen guest stars, ranging from old cohorts Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan to contemporaries Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Van Morrison. The Band are in fine if not exceptional form here; on most cuts, they don't sound quite as fiery as they did on Rock of Ages, though their performances are never less than expert, and the high points are dazzling, especially an impassioned version of \"It Makes No Difference\" and blazing readings of \"Up on Cripple Creek\" and \"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down\" (Levon Helm has made no secret that he felt breaking up the Band was a bad idea, and here it sounds if he was determined to prove how much they still had to offer). Ultimately, it's the Band's \"special guests\" who really make this set stand out -- Muddy Waters' ferocious version of \"Mannish Boy\" would have been a wonder from a man half his age, Van Morrison sounds positively joyous on \"Caravan,\" Neil Young and Joni Mitchell do well for their Canadian brethren, and Bob Dylan's closing set finds him in admirably loose and rollicking form. (One question remains -- what exactly is Neil Diamond doing here?) And while the closing studio-recorded \"Last Waltz Suite\" sounds like padding, the contributions from Emmylou Harris and the Staple Singers are beautiful indeed.” AllMusic Review by Mark Deming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4 \/ 5 ; Discogs : 4.34 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48307235586383,"sku":"R1 7801 \/ 603497832606","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/the-band-the-last-waltz-featuring-joni-mitchell-bob-dylan-muddy-waters-eric-clapton-3lp-case-audiosoundmusic-1.jpg?v=1719863501"},{"product_id":"the-band-the-last-waltz-2-hybrid-sacd","title":"The Band -

But as an album, The Last Waltz soundtrack had to compete with the Band's earlier live album, Rock of Ages, with which it bears a certain superficial resemblance -- both found the group trying to create something grander than the standard-issue live double, and both featured the group beefed up by additional musicians. While Rock of Ages found the Band swinging along with the help of a horn section arranged by Allen Toussaint, The Last Waltz boasts a horn section (using Toussaint's earlier arrangements on a few cuts) and more than a baker's dozen guest stars, ranging from old cohorts Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan to contemporaries Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Van Morrison. The Band are in fine if not exceptional form here; on most cuts, they don't sound quite as fiery as they did on Rock of Ages, though their performances are never less than expert, and the high points are dazzling, especially an impassioned version of \"It Makes No Difference\" and blazing readings of \"Up on Cripple Creek\" and \"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down\" (Levon Helm has made no secret that he felt breaking up the Band was a bad idea, and here it sounds if he was determined to prove how much they still had to offer). Ultimately, it's the Band's \"special guests\" who really make this set stand out -- Muddy Waters' ferocious version of \"Mannish Boy\" would have been a wonder from a man half his age, Van Morrison sounds positively joyous on \"Caravan,\" Neil Young and Joni Mitchell do well for their Canadian brethren, and Bob Dylan's closing set finds him in admirably loose and rollicking form. (One question remains -- what exactly is Neil Diamond doing here?) And while the closing studio-recorded \"Last Waltz Suite\" sounds like padding, the contributions from Emmylou Harris and the Staple Singers are beautiful indeed.” AllMusic Review by Mark Deming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4 \/ 5 ; Discogs : 4.58 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48556012405071,"sku":"UDSACD2139","price":125.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/the-band-the-last-waltz-featuring-joni-mitchell-bob-dylan-muddy-waters-eric-clapton-2-hybrid-sacd-audiosoundmusic-1.jpg?v=1719863793"},{"product_id":"ray-charles-genius-loves-company","title":"Ray Charles – Genius Loves Company (2LP, Number 3903)","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRARITY - \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSealed \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(204, 204, 204);\"\u003eRay Charles - piano, vocals\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/ray-charles\" title=\"vinyl featuring Ray Charles\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.audiosoundmusic.com\/collections\/ray-charles\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e[click here to see more vinyl featuring Ray Charles]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"tab-stops: 113.1pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(204, 204, 204);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eVocals [Duet] : Norah Jones (A1) James Taylor (A2), Diana Krall (A3), Elton John (B1), Natalie Cole (B2), Bonnie Raitt (B3), Willie Nelson (C1), Michael McDonald (C2), B.B.

Prior to this, the last studio album he released was Strong Love Affair in 1996, which was a stab at modern pop, filled with new songs and given an adult contemporary sheen. It was not one of his most distinctive efforts, even when judged against his latter-day albums, and it disappeared not long after its release. Charles left Warner and, years later, signed with Concord, who released Genius Loves Company, which had a decidedly different approach than the all-modern Strong Love Affair. As the title acknowledges with a wink, this is a duets album, which may be a little commonplace as far as latter-day superstar albums go but is still a step up from his previous studio album since it puts Ray Charles in a comfortable, relaxed situation that plays to his strengths. Instead of trying to put Charles in a modern setting, producers John Burk and Phil Ramone (Burk helmed seven of the album's tracks, Ramone is responsible for the other five, and their work fits together seamlessly) go for a clean retro setting with a few guitars, synths, and a rhythm section, occasionally dressing it with an orchestra or some strings. In other words, apart from the glistening production, it's not far removed from any of Charles' crossover records from the '60s, and he's also given a strong set of songs, largely familiar pop classics, from \"Fever\" and \"Somewhere Over the Rainbow\" to \"Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word\" and \"Crazy Love.\" His duet partners are fairly predictable -- classy newcomers like Norah Jones and Diana Krall, but also old stalwarts like Elton John, B.B. King, Johnny Mathis, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, and the ubiquitous Willie Nelson (who has never sounded older than he does here on \"It Was a Very Good Year\") -- but they're also reliable, never overshadowing Ray yet never shrinking in his shadow either; in short, it sounds more like a real duets album than most superstar duet records. The end result is modest, friendly, laid-back, and pleasing, one that remains faithful to Charles' music while sounding relatively fresh. It may not be weighty enough to be a career-capping masterpiece, but it's sweet enough to be an appropriate final album -- which is far more than can be said of Strong Love Affair, or any of the other albums he cut in the '80s or '90s for that matter.\" AllMusic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(204, 204,

but for all that renown, it is anything but an archetypal rock \u0026amp; roll album. It it isn't a rock \u0026amp; roll album at all. Van Morrison plays acoustic guitar and sings in his elastic, bluesy, soulful voice, accompanied by crack group of jazz studio players: guitarist Jay Berliner, upright bassist Richard Davis, Modern Jazz Quartet drummer Connie Kay, vibraphonist Warren Smithand soprano saxophonist John Payne (also credited on flute, though that's debatable -- some claim an anonymous flutist provided those parts). Producer Lewis Merenstein added chamber orchestrations later and divided the album into halves: \"In The Beginning\" and \"Afterwards\" with four tunes under each heading. Morrison's songs are an instinctive, organic mixture of Celtic folk, blues, and jazz. He fully enters the mystic here, more in the moment than he ever would be again in a recording studio. If his pop hit \"Brown-Eyed Girl\" was the first place he explored the \"previous\" -- i.e., the depths of his memory -- for inspiration and direction, he immerses himself in it here. The freewheeling, loose feel adds to the intimacy and immediacy in the songs. They are, for the most part, extended, incantatory, loosely narrative, and poetic ruminations on his Belfast upbringing: its characters, shops, streets, alleys, and sidewalks, all framed by the innocence and passage of that era. Morrison seems hypnotized by his subjects; they comfort and haunt a present filled with inexhaustible longing and loneliness. He confesses as much in the title track: \"If I ventured in the slipstream\/Between the viaducts of your dream\/Where immobile steel rims crack\/And the ditch in the back roads stop\/ Could you find me?\/Would you kiss-a my eyes\/...To be born again....\" Morrison doesn't reach out to the listener, but goes deep inside himself to excavate and explore. The album's centerpiece is \"Madame George,\" a stream-of-consciousness narrative of personal psychological and spiritual archetypes deeply influenced by the road novels of Jack Kerouac.

It it isn't a rock \u0026amp; roll album at all. Van Morrison plays acoustic guitar and sings in his elastic, bluesy, soulful voice, accompanied by crack group of jazz studio players: guitarist Jay Berliner, upright bassist Richard Davis, Modern Jazz Quartet drummer Connie Kay, vibraphonist Warren Smithand soprano saxophonist John Payne (also credited on flute, though that's debatable -- some claim an anonymous flutist provided those parts). Producer Lewis Merenstein added chamber orchestrations later and divided the album into halves: \"In The Beginning\" and \"Afterwards\" with four tunes under each heading. Morrison's songs are an instinctive, organic mixture of Celtic folk, blues, and jazz. He fully enters the mystic here, more in the moment than he ever would be again in a recording studio. If his pop hit \"Brown-Eyed Girl\" was the first place he explored the \"previous\" -- i.e., the depths of his memory -- for inspiration and direction, he immerses himself in it here. The freewheeling, loose feel adds to the intimacy and immediacy in the songs. They are, for the most part, extended, incantatory, loosely narrative, and poetic ruminations on his Belfast upbringing: its characters, shops, streets, alleys, and sidewalks, all framed by the innocence and passage of that era. Morrison seems hypnotized by his subjects; they comfort and haunt a present filled with inexhaustible longing and loneliness. He confesses as much in the title track: \"If I ventured in the slipstream\/Between the viaducts of your dream\/Where immobile steel rims crack\/And the ditch in the back roads stop\/ Could you find me?\/Would you kiss-a my eyes\/...To be born again....\" Morrison doesn't reach out to the listener, but goes deep inside himself to excavate and explore. The album's centerpiece is \"Madame George,\" a stream-of-consciousness narrative of personal psychological and spiritual archetypes deeply influenced by the road novels of Jack Kerouac. The climactic epiphany experienced on \"Cyprus Avenue\" paints a portrait of place and time so vividly, it fools listeners into the experience of shared -- but mythical -- memory. \"The Way Young Lovers Do\" is the most fully formed tune here. Its swinging jazz verses and tight rhythmic choruses underscore a simmering, passionate eroticism in Morrison's lyric and delivery. Astral Weeks is a justified entry in pop music's pantheon. It is unlike any record before or since; it mixes together the very best of postwar popular music in an emotional outpouring cast in delicate, subtle musical structures.” AllMusic Review by William Ruhlmann\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 5 \/ 5 , Discogs : 4.51 \/ 5 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56875043225935,"sku":"CAPP200SA","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/VanMorrison-AstralWeeks.webp?v=1769091111"},{"product_id":"van-morrison-his-band-and-the-street-choir-2lp-45rpm","title":"Van Morrison -

Encouraged by his manager, Morrison and a sextet -- including three players from the Moondance sessions -- hit the studio and delivered His Band \u0026amp; the Street Choir in time for that year's holiday season. Morrison responded to the pressure by relaxing into it. The feel here is loose, often celebratory. He digs deep into his long-held fascination with the New Orleans R\u0026amp;B tradition for inspiration. \"Domino\" is his highest charting single. The funky guitar lick, left-hand piano rumbling, driving, Memphis-style horns, and pumping bassline kick things off in grand party style. The ballad \"Crazy Face,\" written in 1968, melds acoustic guitar, mandolin, and piano. Morrison's brittle, bluesy saxophone line and a grooving B-3 tip the balance toward R\u0026amp;B. \"Give Me a Kiss\" has a great Zigaboo Modeliste feel in the horn charts; Fats Domino gets referenced in Alan Hand's piano stroll, and the punchy, doo-wopping tag in the chorus nods at Frankie Ford. \"I've Been Working\" (which dates to Astral Weeks) is Morrison at his funky best, roaring above a cooking choogle. The acoustic guitar vamp is highlighted by swirling organ, and electric Meters-esque guitar and basslines. Drummer Dahaud Elias Sharr lays down tough breaks and fills throughout as jazzy horns frame the singer. \"Call Me Up in Dreamland\" features the loose-knit \"street choir\" (musicians, wives, girlfriends, etc.). It's built on the ragged, Celtic soul-gospel template that Morrison would continue to refer to. The intimate \"I'll Be Your Lover Too,\" adorned only by acoustic guitar and whispering drums, is haunted with the slow-burn passion that would flow so easily on 1972's Saint Dominic's Preview. Second single \"Blue Money\" is a Rhodes-and-brass driven blues that returns to the NOLA trick bag for fire. The poetic \"Virgo Clowns\" is painted in a lovely meld of 12-string acoustic guitars and bass clarinet. \"Gypsy Queen\" is slippery love song, with Morrison offering a gorgeous falsetto. The Celtic soul in \"If I Ever Needed Someone\" is highlighted by the same trio of backing vocalists that appeared on Moondance's \"Crazy Love.\" The closing title track draws on the swaggering, testifying gospel that inspired that album's \"Caravan\" (and, played back-to-back, seems to grow right out of it). The street choir's backing is sweeter, balanced by eloquent sax and harmonica breaks. As an album, His Band \u0026amp; the Street Choir may not equal Astral Weeks or Moondance, but the aim was never that lofty. That most of these songs have endured as fan favorites is testament enough to their quality. » AllMusic Review by Thom Jurek\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings\u003c\/strong\u003e :\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllMusic : 4,5 \/ 5 ; Discogs : 4.26 \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioSoundMusic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56928229294415,"sku":"APLPAS40027-45","price":98.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3811\/7783\/files\/Captured_ecran2026-01-29a20.51.20.png?v=1769716339"},{"product_id":"van-morrison-his-band-and-the-street-choir-hybrid-sacd","title":"Van Morrison -
