CD Reviews

Great OOP first LP plus Legendary out-takes
Jerry Lowetz | 01/16/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"That previous reviewer doesn't know what. The first disc is a reissue of Van's long OOP first LP 'Blowin Your Mind' that came out on Bert Berns' BANG label (plus bonus tracks), not a collection of otherwise available recordings, and shows the transition from Garage rock to trans-genred singer-songwriter. The second is the first legal release of the legendary session made to break his contract with Berns and wrest control of his career. It's one of the funniest recordings ever and in some ways Van's best album. It's certainly better than anything he's done since the early 70's. "I can see by the look on your face... that you've got Ringworm.""
First cd's an ok compilation, second's a joke
Jerry Lowetz | Livonia, MI USA | 02/09/2003
(2 out of 5 stars)

"The first cd's another van morrison compilation, good songs you probably already have. The second cd i'm pretty sure was meant as a joke or just messing around in the studio. The like 6th song is even "if you made it this far it's freaky"Try another compilation or a remaster :)--Alex"
