Description
PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

If the listener doesn't get it right off... then by the third listen, Astral Weeks should completely overwhelm with its raw emotional beauty and then will ingrained itself deeply into the listeners musical identity.

There really isn’t anything else quite like Astral Weeks — it was unprecedented when it came out. The music speaks for itself -- as Van sings, “venture in the slipstream.”
Astral Weeks was recorded in a marathon New York session in less than 48 hours. It was reported in Rolling Stone that one man saw God while listening to the record on nitrous oxide. Bassist Richard Davis and drummer Connie Kay, two of the tallest giants of jazz rhythm, walked away from the Astral Weeks sessions scratching their heads in bewildered wonder at the strange music they had just recorded. Jimi Hendrix sat transfixed night after night as Van Morrison performed songs from the album to row after row of empty seats in a London theater.
The album has since become a cultish oracle of obsession for many.

CONDITION: The cover: Rated: VG++ bit of light shelf contact wear just starting and contained, not showing up in photo as so light, but there. Otherwise very solid & colorful as it was in 1970! As many know, the dark cover is extremely hard to find without a lot of shelf wear. Here's a survivor retaining bright original colors. The back cover is extremely clean (Excellent!) only has a light handling crinkle at top left that is light enough as not on the front cover. Overall the seams are stiff and rigid. There are no delete marks, no bends, no split seams, no writing = collection copy !
The vinyl: Rated: near VG++ shiny over both sides, looks real clean. However with bright light up close has some hard to see small hair scuffs. Play graded mostly excellent audio, heard a little light surface in a few stray places but minimum enough to where this copy is still very much enjoyable. Both 1970 original W-7 Warner Brothers labels are VERY clean...
