Title: this is his best album, even with everything else he made
Review: I would make this an essential purchase for all music fans! especially "caravan," which is one of the best songs he's ever made and one of the only songs that never seems to get old when I listen to it a lot! People may talk a lot about Astral Weeks as being better, but it is not as consistent as this album. For some reason people also say that Tupelo Honey is better, but I found almost everything on that album to be monumentally cheesy, and far below The Man's high standards. If you are just getting into Van Morrison, make this your first purchase, you will like all of the songs on this disc! Then get Best Of vol 1 for the rest of his essential songs, and maybe Astral Weeks, though I suggest you listen to that one first before you buy it. Then the magic of Van Morrison will be yours to savor!
