Van Morrison: His Band And The Street Choir (1970)

"...even if it's inferior to Moondance, it is still better than eighty per cent of the records you've got in your collection." - John Tobler


His Band And The Street Choir was originally released in 1970. I have a Canadian repressing from 1979, which makes sense because that was the year I really started to buy records in earnest. This record is part of an amazing streak. Blowin' Your Mind was OK, but his next eight or ten records were all brilliant. It's amazing that he had that much creative energy and drive. I think his output has been good overall, but the consistency of the first several records is amazing.
