The Legendary Bang Sessions opens a window onto 1967, when a young Van Morrison headed to New York to cut his first solo recordings for Bert Berns and Bang Records.
Fresh out of Them, Morrison spent two days that March at A&R Studios working through new songs with Berns at the controls. The sessions produced a smash hit and a famously fraught business relationship, and their legacy shaped the restless, searching music he made next. This collection gathers takes from those dates, offering a glimpse of the songs as they were taking shape.
Brown Eyed Girl is the obvious draw, its sunny guitar figure and sha-la-la chorus every bit as infectious in this alternate version. He Ain't Give You None shows the brooding storyteller beginning to emerge, while T.B. Sheets stretches out for more than nine harrowing minutes, a raw, bluesy confession that hints at the visionary records to come. Spanish Rose and Who Drove the Red Sports Car? round out a snapshot of a writer finding his voice.
Hearing these takes is a little like reading early drafts of a favourite novel.
For Morrison devotees, it's a fascinating and very listenable look at the turning point between pop sensation and singular songwriter.
