CLEAN!!

RARE to find collection worthy CLEAN  = Original 1971 VINYL first pressing in thick gatefold cover. It's SO hard to find a nice clean "W7" label first pressing on the original label. This was an extremely popular album when it came out 41 years ago and most copies found are worn out, then most are not even on this first "W7" label pressing. Here's a clean one, will provide as a nice upgrade to your old worn out copy OR cool first time score!

Songs such as 'Moondance', 'And It Stoned Me' and 'Caravan' felt like a lucid dream

It's unusual for a decade-defining record to come out in that decade's first year, but that was clearly the case with MOONDANCE. While it would have been one of the finest albums of any decade, it clearly marked a turning point both for Van Morrison and for rock as a whole. Coming after 1968's expansive, acoustic, hip-inflected ASTRAL WEEKS, MOONDANCE marks a complete about-face; instead of looking inward to the depths of his soul, Van turned his gaze towards sunnier climes, offering up a seamless album of tightly composed and arranged tunes brimming with warmth and energy. Here the R&B influence that had been part of Morrison's toolkit since his days fronting Them truly came to the fore at last. "Crazy Love," "Caravan," and "Brand New Day" could have been covered by any great singer, even as they redefined "soul" through the filter of Morrison's eclectic sensibilities. An openhearted record full of truly inspirational moments, MOONDANCE is Van at the absolute top of his game, setting the pace for everyone else to follow. Nearly every song here is a stone-cold classic, and MOONDANCE has become embedded in the collective pop consciousness as one of the most important touchstones of its time.
