Astral Weeks
Van Morrison took a novel approach to record-making when he started work on Astral Weeks, his first solo album. The Irishman showed up to the studio with a handful of song ideas and simply allowed the band to work them out how they liked. The result is a blend of jammy performances, richer and more polished than you'd expect from a hodgepodge of arrangements built on-the-spot. The record holds a special place in the vocabulary folk music fans, not to mention the RIAA, which certified it gold in 2001.

Moondance
Originally released in 1970, this reissue of Van Morrison's third studio album marks a certain achievement of mainstream success. With hits like “Moondance” and “Crazy Love”, this 180 gram vinyl LP was written in a small hamlet in upstate New York before being committed to wax at Manhattan's iconic A & R Studios. The record sold over three million copies in the US alone, certifying it triple-platinum by the RIAA and quadruple-recommended by us.
