Van Morrison's Moondance arrives here in Rhino Reserve form, a fresh vinyl outing for the 1970 album that turned his restless soul-searching into something warm, swinging and wide open.

After the hypnotic, stream-of-consciousness drift of Astral Weeks, Morrison wanted songs with shape and punch. He produced Moondance himself, built it around a tight band with horns, and found a sweet spot between R&B, jazz, folk and Celtic yearning that nobody else was quite occupying. It became his commercial breakthrough and the record most people reach for first.

"And It Stoned Me" opens with a memory of rain and country water that feels almost sacred. The title track is a finger-snapping jazz-club strut, all walking bass and flute, while "Caravan" turns a love of the radio into a full-band revival, horns blazing. Then "Into the Mystic" drifts in on acoustic guitar and that unhurried vocal, the kind of song that has soundtracked a thousand quiet evenings and probably a few proposals.

More than fifty years on, the album still feels lived in rather than preserved, with Morrison sounding like he is singing to someone in the room.

This Rhino Reserve pressing gives it a proper home on the turntable, right at the heart of any serious rock and soul shelf.
