Astral Weeks 180g Remastered

Posted by: Leo..... on 08 January 2009

I finally got my copy today and I highly recommend it. After only having flimsy copies before to hold this beautiful ( heavy!! ) record was thrill. Its perfectly packaged ( I think with the same label as the original?? ) with a good quality sleeve.

My two cents regarding the remaster are just that I was struggling to leave the house for work this morning for a record I have heard thousands of times. I have to leave by the time we got to 'sweet thing' but the sheer clarity of the record just blew my mind. Roll on 5:30 for side two!!!!!!

The standard CD release of this sounds good to me, so no need they get your hands dirty. Winker

I bought an old copy at a second hand record shop a few months ago. Not really even a fan of Van the Man and I was astounded by it's beauty especially by side 2 actually: tracks 2,3 & 4. Every time I browsed through my vinyl looking for some entertainment for weeks I always ended up sticking Astral Weeks on... Would fancy a listen to it on 180g Smile

I read in the LA Times that he did a live version at the Hollywood Bowl that will be coming out, He messed with it, changed order of tracks, added a couple, let his band mates show off their prowess. It'll probably be released on CD and on DVD.
