R'n'B is, this disc determining direction. Whether it is the Stax soul sound of, Domino ', the radio of, I've Been Working' rock and roll heavy - in the style of Ray Charles interpreted - Soul of, Blue Money 'and, Give Me A Kiss ', or swing by, Call Me Up In Dreamland'. Van Morrison makes all these varieties here not adopt, no - he has already fully internalized here.

Are there which give this disc, in addition to brisk rhythmic, songs nötge sustainability. Also on, Virgo Clowns 'or, Gypsy Queen' are folk and soul naturally fused together.
, If I Ever Needed Someone 'is then as a typical Van Morrison grouse which also integrates the Gospel and almost as capable of producing goosebumps mood as some years later, And The Healing Has Begun'.

A very wonderful plate is and unfortunately you have to in order to enjoy the best possible sound quality can on these very expensive Japan recourse import, since the, Remasters'-Series was unfortunately stopped after the second swing for some unknown reason. This issue can but for sound absolutely nothing to be desired. The Japanese show again impressively how well you have mastered the remastering craft. So transparent, dynamic and at the same time warm and homogeneous also did not sound the original vinyl. A real pleasure and of course, the full number of points for a something underrated album of the great Irish singer-songwriter. (Who by the way is still to reach the vinyl optional for Rhino Vinyl edition of 2009 - which is almost as good sound)
