Although Van Morrison s first solo album is remembered for containing the immortal pop hit Brown Eyed Girl, Blowin Your Mind is actually a dry run for his masterpiece, Astral Weeks. Songs like Who Drove the Red Sports Car look to that song cycle, even as Midnight Special nods to Morrison s R B past. But it s the agonizing T.B. Sheets -- all nine-plus minutes of it -- that dominates this record and belies its trendy title and pop association. T.B. Sheets takes the blues and reinvents it as noble tragedy and humiliating mortality. It s where Van Morrison emerges as an artist

CONDITION:
RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records click here PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID .
b The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
