VAN MORRISON : T.B. SHEETS |
|
Label : Bellaphon Release Year : 1973 Length : 42:52 Review (AllMusic) : Another re-packaging of Bang Records material issued without Van Morrison's approval, this album focuses on Morrison's longer, more ambitious songs, such as the title cut, and is notable for including early versions of "Beside You" and "Madame George," songs that later turned up on Astral Weeks. (Reissued on CD in 1990 by Columbia Records [LCK 46093], T.B. Sheets was superseded by Bang Masters, which contains all of its tracks except "He Ain't Give You None," presented in an alternate take, plus Morrison's other recordings for Bang, in 1991.) Review (Wikipedia) : T.B. Sheets is a retrospective album of recordings made in 1967 by Northern Irish musician Van Morrison, released in 1973 on Bang Records. It contains songs that had appeared on Morrison's debut album, Blowin' Your Mind!, including his first hit, "Brown Eyed Girl". It also features the original versions of early versions of two songs that appeared in 1968 on Morrison's acclaimed album Astral Weeks "Beside You" and Astral Weeks' centerpiece, "Madame George". This recording is listed as an unauthorized album that was released without Morrison's knowledge or approval. |
