Van Morrison - Astral Weeks - Analogue Productions 45rpm LP
180g 45 RPM Double LP — Analogue Productions
Van Morrison's 1968 masterpiece Astral Weeks is more than an album — it's an experience. Defying genre, it fuses folk, jazz improvisation, and ethereal soul, with upright bass, flute, vibraphone, and acoustic guitar weaving hypnotic textures beneath Morrison's most emotional, stream-of-consciousness vocal performance. Tracks such as "Madame George" and "Cyprus Avenue" are cinematic in their storytelling. This Analogue Productions 45 RPM edition was mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from a flat 24/192 transfer of the original master tape, EQ'd through the lab's all-tube analog system. Ranked No. 60 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
