Had this years ago on tape but it disappeared ! Great to hear again. Definitely one of his best with some magical songs - many remembering those days when we were young and life was exciting and new. Some fine spirituals and a great mix of ballads and rockier stuff - with excellent backing musicians. Different but just as good as his earlier well known classic albums. Since then in the 21st century some releases just seem to be treading water & rehashing old themes (albeit still pretty good ! ) but this one is highly recommended.

A TRULY OUTSTANDING ALBUM. IT IS SAID THAT ASTRAL WEEKS IS THE BEST VAN MORRISON ALBUM, A STATEMENT I ADMIT I AGREE WITH,BUT THIS SURELY MUST BE A CLOSE SECOND. VAN AND THE BAND ARE ON TOP FORM,THE MUSICAL COMPOSITION, THE LYRICS AND HARMONIES ALL ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.THIS IS AN ALBUM YOU CAN (AND I DO) PLAY TIME AND AGAIN,AND WITH EACH PLAYING YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO A DIFFERENT TIME OR PLACE OF YOUR OWN CHILDHOOD, REMINISCING OF DAYS GONE BY FILLED WITH WONDERS AND HAPPINESS WHICH ARE BURIED WITHIN OUR MEMORIES AND THE MELACHOLY WITHIN THE MUSIC HELPS SUCH JOYOUS MEMORIES COME ONCE AGAIN TO THE FOREFRONT OF OUR MINDS.I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM TO ALL.
only about 3 tracks of each CD play on my desktop so I was unable to add this to my music library. Whilst it said it was in good condition, unfortunately that turned out not to be the case.
