Show All 61 Reviews- Yes great mastering, sounds nice but my Sealed copy was riddled with surface marks on both sides which cause noise. I would buy this used to confirm you don't get a crap quality control copy like I got.

referencing Astral Weeks (CD, Album, Reissue) CD 1768
Clean sounding edition has older disclaimers referring to the presence of noise and other distortions, suggesting that the source is not being altered by any process. - Edited 5 months agoAm I missing something or is this a duplicate entry/same as https://www.discogs.com/release/15358946-Van-Morrison-Astral-Weeks? The only difference I see is the number ABOVE the barcode on the back sleave.
- this is the definitive version
incredible to think of Van Morrison and his huge catalogue
IF he was to have just released this record it would have been enough! referencing Astral Weeks (LP, Album, Reissue) K 46024
Maybe the best album of the 60s. Nothing else sounds like it and it has such a gorgeous feel to it. It's such a unique mix of folk, blues and jazz. Madame George is the best thing on it. The way he captures the feeling of loss and warmth is just fantastic. My only issue is the density. I get bored by the penultimate track but it's such a fantastic record. Sounds great as well. Bog standard 80s pressing but it sounds so warm.- Awesome sound but would it have killed them to put it a lyric sheet or at least something with the songwriting and musician credits? Bare bones.
