Van Morrison's best years (1968-1978)
Astral WeeksAstral Weeks by Van Morrison
Buy new: £5.78 / Used from: £2.46
If God went into a studio and made an album this would be it
MoondanceMoondance by Van Morrison
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £2.49
Widely regarded as his second best after Astral Weeks, personally I disagree but it is still fantastic. Turn it up, that's enough, that's enough
His Band and the Street ChoirHis Band and the Street Choir by Van Morrison
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.39
Not as good as his other work from this era. I believe it was cobbled together under record company pressure, but still exceptional
Tupelo HoneyTupelo Honey by Van Morrison
Buy used from: £3.50
My favourite studio album by Van. Contains the best love song of all time, Tupelo Honey.
St. Dominic's PreviewSt. Dominic's Preview by Van Morrison
Buy new: £6.79 / Used from: £12.40
Phenomenal. A mix of R&B and folk numbers. Jackie Wilson said is the catchiest song I have ever heard
Hard Nose the HighwayHard Nose the Highway by Van Morrison
Buy used from: £137.24
A bit patchy but well worth a listen
Veedon FleeceVeedon Fleece by Van Morrison
Buy used from: £10.65
Van's first "Celtic" Album. A gig dollop of green tinted lovlieness is how I'd describe it
It's Too Late to Stop NowIt's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Buy used from: £5.90
My favourite Van album of all time. The live versions of Warm Love, Dreams of You, Into the Mystic, Here Comes The Night and Cyprus Avenue in my opinion exceed the originials.
A Period of Transition: RemasteredA Period of Transition: Remastered by Van Morrison
Buy used from: £17.44
Don't have this for 2 reasons. 1: Heard it's not great, 2: I'm poor but it is within 68-78 so I had to put it in.
WavelengthWavelength by Van Morrison
Buy used from: £6.48
Severely underrated. Although Van could have chilled out on the synthesiser
The Last Waltz [1978]The Last Waltz [1978]
Buy new: £16.87 / Used from: £6.75
I got this DVD for Van's performance and I'd spend my 12.50 all over again. The best of the 3 versions of Caravan I've heard
