EARLY SOLO VAN

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I compare this version of early Van to the

Extended Live series (though these are not

live performances). What I mean is that the

sound quality is superb, but lacks any writing

credits (while there are liner notes and musician

credits).

The stand out songs for me include: Brown Eyed

Girl, (it has never sounded as crisp as this version)

He Ain't Give You None; T.B. Sheets; Madame George;

Chick-A-Boom; and an alternate version of Brown

Eyed Girl, though granted, there's not much difference

from the master take.

Though the other songs aren't 5 Star, none are dogs

and you'll find the 76+mins. of music go by quickly

with little complaint."
