Lest we Forget: Van Morrison's Veedon Fleece


Veedon Fleece. 1974, was the last of the great run of masterpieces Van Morrison produced, that began with Astral Weeks. The later ones tend to be forgotten. Veedon Fleece is steeped in Irish pastoral, and still sounds as fantastic now. Try these:

From the previous year, a previously unreleased track that came out on The Philosopher's Stone:

mp3 Van Morrison: Try for Sleep
(removed by request)

The cd doesn't seem to in print at the moment. Why not?
