{"product_id":"van-morrison-moondance-rhino-reserve","title":"Van Morrison - Moondance (Rhino Reserve)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVan 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter 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\u0026amp;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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Rhino Reserve pressing gives it a proper home on the turntable, right at the heart of any serious rock and soul shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518426063153,"sku":"081227804992","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Van_Morrison-Moondance_Rhino_Reserve.jpg?v=1794677552","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/van-morrison-moondance-rhino-reserve","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
