All the identifiers here are present on my copy but I also have "Townhouse" stamped in the runouts.
An amazing album by the way.Production is superb,One of Van`s best.referencing Common One (LP, Album, Reissue) R1 3462
In comparison to a UK original it’s lost detail, dynamics and the rich deep warmth at the bottom end.referencing Common One (LP, Album, Stereo) RJ-7683
this pressing is seriously dynamic, clean and amazing analog greatness, if you have the system to show it off, I highly recommend it!referencing Common One (LP, Album) 6302 021
VM’s great ambitious experimental jazz vibe album. Beautiful arrangements, heartfelt vocals, spellbinding musical performances & sweeping-poetic-spiritual lyrics dealing w/ exaltations to God & his wonders. A soul-bearing celebration of spirit, joy & freedom.
Up there with (if not) his best works.referencing Common One (LP, Album, Jacksonville) BSK 3462
I so agree with the comment from 'buecherfreund'. This is a GREAT pressing. It sounds full, the bass is fat, the horns ring out, and the soundstage is there. I'm sorry, Common One is great musically. I don't know why this album gets such a bad rep. It is great. Summertime in England? Great! One of Van's best albums, IMHO.referencing Common One (LP, Album) 6302 021
This record shows a French pressing.... not correct for the Dutch versionreferencing Common One (CD, Album, Reissue) 839 600-2
I found this for 50p in a charity shop at the w/e. Van's output is a bit spotty for me. Astral Weeks is truly great, some of his recent releases ... not so much. Anyway- this album Common One is a deep and mysterious listen. Some great lyrics, the string arrangements are inventive. I could do without some of the sax but that's nit-picking. All the songs are good, the two epic tunes stretch out to infinity, the last track being a floating masterpiece. All in all this was 50p very well spent.- Edited 2 years ago

Comes with inner sleeve with lyrics but the record itself is in a different, poly transparent sleeve. Classy!
The record itself plays beautifully, silent and dynamic. Great presentation all around. - Edited 7 months ago

This is the most soulful Morrison album. One of my favorite albums of my whole life, (I'm 66). I want the remastered LP, but can't find one. I have the 84' version but I think some content was added later. Anyone know the place to find? referencing Common One (LP, Album, Jacksonville) BSK 3462
This version is orginally mastered by Bernie Grundman plus a very good presssing = audiophile quality!
